We had a quick response time today for a structure fire on County Road 635. The road was shut down for a time. One occupant was transported via helicopter to th...e hospital with injuries. There were no injuries to Firefighters. We worked this fire from 7:15 to 3:30 then spent two and a half more hours cleaning our equipment and gear. Thank you to Pontiac and Gainesville FD who responded in mutual aid. Thank you to the Ozark County Sheriff, Missouri State Fire Marshall and Ozark County Ambulance District for your support as well. We had several civilians provide water, bakery pastries and manpower that was also very much appreciated.

A reminder that vinyl siding does not stand up well to heat. If you have vinyl siding on your house, don’t bbq next to it. Always remember to have one meter (3 feet) of clearance from any flammable or combustible surface.

As we remember our fallen heroes, and honor all that have served, have a safe Memorial Day!

It's that time of year again! Come enjoy a great breakfast with all the fixins' to help support our local fire department! Cant wait to see y'all there!

Stay safe on the back roads that aren’t plowed. A lot of people still can’t get out, unless they have a 4x4 vehicle. I just got stuck on 609. I made it out but it took a bit of work. Thank you from your fire department. Chief Khristie

The snow has arrived, stay home and stay warm. If you must go out, bundle up good in layers as frost bite can set in within 30 mins to exposed skin. Come on summer....we want you back!! . Please check on your neighbors for the next several days.

SNOW CHANCES TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY: Still looks like a changeover to a wet snowfall tonight across parts of Southern Missouri and Northwest Arkansas. The HRRR ...is really keying in on how I think the event will play out and snow totals will see. Higher elevation areas in Southern Missouri and Northwest Arkansas will see the changeover first with the highest totals from this event. Expecting under an inch in Springfield, higher amounts to the east near Hwy. 60 and also in the higher elevation areas in Northwest Arkansas. #kolr10wx #mowx #arwx #sgfwx See more
