This afternoon at 3:30 PM the Sequoyah County Commissioners placed Sequoyah County under a burn ban. The ban was put in effect immediately and will remain in place for the next 14 days at which time the commissioners will consider lifting the ban or extending it.  Any and all outside burning is prohibited. Please avoid high fire risk activities that could start accidental fires. If smoke or fire is seen please call 911 immediately.

A huge thank you to Cherokee Nation Emergency Management for providing West Tenkiller Fire Department with a pallet of bottled water to help support our community during the current water outage.

If you or your family are in need of drinking water, please stop by the fire department and pick up a case while supplies last.

Blackgum Fire Department and Marble City Fire Department have also received pallets of water, so if you’re closer to either of those departments, they’re available there as well.

Please share this post to help us reach anyone who may need assistance. Stay safe, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you need help. Thank you, Cherokee Nation Emergency Management, for your continued support of our communities!

If we are not there you can contact Chief Matt Barnes 918-348-6018 or Secretary Mattyson Barnes 918-257-9812
