Karval Fire responded to a hay bale that had been struck by lightening on Saturday. Luckily there had been some much needed moisture in the area that contained the fire to one bale. An hour earlier would have been a different situation, the strike burned all the way through the middle of the bale. Situations like this remind us of how awareness of the weather and lightening safety should be taken very seriously.

*****NEW EMERGENCY MANAGER*****
****Wildfire Response Request****

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office would like to share that our office has recently taken on the role of County Emergency Management. As part of this transition, we would also like to introduce Lane Elliott as the County Emergency Manager.

With warmer, drier, and windier conditions upon us, we are entering a period of increased fire danger. To improve wildfire preparedness and response, we are building a voluntary contact list of farmers and ranchers who may be willing to help during a fire emergency.

We are looking for those who have tractor discs or plows for fire breaks, water storage tanks, water trucks, or similar agricultural equipment. This is not a commitment, only a way to identify local resources that could be contacted if conditions and timing allows.

If you are willing to be included, please email:

[email protected] with your name, equipment available, general location, and best phone number.

We appreciate the strong tradition of neighbors helping neighbors and thank you for supporting local fire response efforts.
