Hello friends!
Today Woodson Fire and Murrayville Fire had the opportunity to work with Saint Louis Zoo. We had several out of service fire hoses that will now be used for animal enrichment. I have included a few pictures and email screenshots so that you can see what we were able to do by recycling what we no longer can use. A big thank you to Garrett for making sure everything went smoothly.

Have a blessed day,
Jen Banks

As most of you have probably already heard, our small community has been hit pretty hard with sorrow this past week. We ask that everyone keeps those affected in their thoughts and prayers. Thank you and God bless.

Severe Weather Threat Today/Tonight⚡

*Sunday Midday Update*

A few showers t’storms have been ongoing across portions of Central and Southern this morning, residual activity from overnight.

More of note is a complex (MCS) of t’storms that has moved from Northern Missouri into Western Illinois as of midday. This complex will track eastward across Central Illinois through the afternoon hours, posing a severe weather risk, with damaging winds being the greatest threat.

Further south, additional scattered t’storms/severe t’storms are expected to develop across Central/Southern Missouri this afternoon, perhaps in the vicinity of the outflow boundary from the northern complex. This activity will have the opportunity to grow upscale int a complex, which would then traverse Southern Illinois from later this afternoon into early tonight. A severe weather risk will accompany this activity, with damaging winds being the greatest threat.
