Classic Missouri weather coming this week! Make sure you bring those plants in if possible and use caution on the road tomorrow morning just in case the weather is right and we get some snow!! We’ll post updates on weather as we receive them but give us a little grace, the weather seems like it’s changing every 5 minutes right now!

This week’s theme is Candle With Care. Candles are pretty to look at and can set a romantic mood. But remember a candle is an open flame and can easily start ...a fire. From 2014-2018, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 7,610 home structure fires that were started by candles per year. These fires caused an annual average of 81 deaths, 677 injuries and $278 million in direct property damage. #CandleSafety #FirePrevention #FireSafetyTips

Possible overnight showers and thunderstorms early Tuesday Morning! Remain cautious of wet roads during your early morning commute.

Today we had several Crisis and Disaster Management (CDM) students from the University of Central Missouri come learn about our agency and tour our facility/equipment! Education is a HUGE part of what we do and we absolutely love promoting what our agency does on a daily basis! #jocoready #education
