No doubt many of you are already aware of the Winter Storm that is heading our way this weekend. The leadership here at MCFRS is, as always, ahead of the curve and preparing for all scenarios to ensure we are able to respond to our communities needs as, well, needed. My hope is that none of you out there will need our assistance during this time as that would mean bad things are happening to you.
As I posted during our December storm, please make sure you keep your local fire hydrant clear of any snow so that our people can readily see them and use them in case of fire. Help us to help you if need be!
Please take some time to prepare for this potential monster storm. If anything less than the worst occurs, then you will be more than ready! But please take a moment to click below and review some steps you should take, and some items you should have on hand, to prepare for the weather.

In effect, you may be asked to “Shelter in Place” this weekend. Make sure you have the tools and supplies necessary so that you can safely stay at home until the roadways are cleared.
As always – Stay Safe!
