This evening your volunteers answered an unusual type of call. People often ask why we respond to calls like this sometimes. The simple answer, it is better for trained personnel to enter unusual circumstances/spaces rather than potentially having to rescue a person trying to do a good deed.

This is what occurred: We received a public call via Sherman PD for ducklings that had fallen into the storm sewer. We responded with E1 and made entry to the storm sewer in multiple locations. Two ducklings were retrieved from the storm sewer and reunited with a very hysterical mama duck. Once the reunion occurred, the duck family waddled off into the sunset and we cleared the scene.

Please be aware of dangerous fire conditions at all times. Red Flag fire conditions have been posted for the past two days. Your volunteers spent 7 hours fighting brush fires today. All were preventable by paying attention to dangerous fire conditions. Thank you to our mutual aid departments that responded to assist us.

RED FLAG WARNING IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY TO 6 PM CST THIS
EVENING...

The National Weather Service in Lincoln has issued a Red Flag Warning for wind and low relative humidity, which is in effect from noon today to 6 PM CST this evening. The Fire Weather Watch
is no longer in effect.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Red Flag Warning means that critical fire weather conditions are either occurring now, or will shortly. A combination of strong winds, low relative humidity, and warm temperatures can
contribute to extreme fire behavior.

02/26/2026

Windy, warm, and dry conditions are expected Friday, especially west of I-55 where a Fire Weather Watch is in effect. Southwest winds across central and southeast IL will gust 25 to 40 mph, while relative humidity drops as low as 20 to 30 percent. This will bring potential for rapid fire spread for any fires that start. Avoid open burning and use caution with any outdoor equipment that generates heat or sparks.

Red Flag Warnings just to the north of us. Be aware of increased Fire Danger across our area today! Open Burning is not ...
