When fueling up at Vandalia Fast Stop, be sure to use the Spirit Pumps! Through November, proceeds from gas pumps #5 and #6, along with diesel pumps #7 and #8, will help support our local Shop with a Cop program.

The Fayette County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank Vandalia Fast Stop and everyone who fills up at the Spirit Pumps for supporting this meaningful cause. Your generosity helps make a difference in the lives of local children and families during the holiday season.

We are grateful for the continued support of our local businesses and community.

This video was taken by one of our 911 Dispatchers. We are still currently collecting information but the National Weather Service believes this is a Land Spout. They usually do not make ground contact however when they do it causes little to no damage. We did take a report that there was crop damage south of St.Elmo. Once we have all the information we will post the findings.
