When the weather turns cold, it can bring a chill into our homes. Portable space heaters have become a popular way to supplement central heating or heat one room. If you plan to use portable electric space heaters, make sure to follow these tips and recommendations:

Wishing you a safe and happy New Year's Eve!

It's that time of the year!! If you are interested in Pink shirts, we will have some in October. Order them on our online store at www.iafflocal59.org or email your order to [email protected].

Many traditional Halloween activities can be high-risk for spreading viruses. There are several safer, alternative ways to participate in Halloween. If you may have COVID-19 or you may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19, you should not participate in in-person Halloween festivities or give out candy to trick-or-treaters.

TRAFFIC TIP TUESDAY: Although 2020 has been a rough year, don't end it with a DWI or a crash. Celebrate the New Year responsibly and make sure you have a desig...nated driver, utilize a ride sharing program or taxi company, or have another alternative means of getting to your destination safely. Buzzed driving is drunk driving! Be smart, drive safe and arrive alive! #JPD #dontdrinkndrive #buckleup #drivesafe #dothewatermeloncrawl See more

Was able to catch the Webb City Fire Dept, Oronogo Fire Dept, and Joplin Fire Dept putting in some work at a fully involved trailer fire.
