If you did not hear the outdoor warning sirens today, this is why.

Due to overcast skies and the chance of rain in the area, today’s Marshall County outdoor warning siren testing was canceled.

Weekly siren testing normally takes place every Tuesday at 9:00 AM when weather conditions permit. Thank you for your understanding and continued support of Marshall County Communications and Marshall County 911.

As May 4 dawns across Asia, Africa and Europe,
moving steadily across the world,
International Firefighters’ Day begins.

A day to pause.
A day to reflect.
A day to honour.

Wherever you are, you are part of this shared moment.

We are sad we didn’t have the turn out we usually had, but the kids that did come made out like bandits!

These kids were excited to get the special eggs this year! The 2 older ones are brothers! They were so pumped!

REMINDER
Easter Egg Hunt is planned for tomorrow at 10 am at the ball fields. Chance of rain but we are still going to have it! Bring all the kids. There will be a special egg again this year for each age group! We are excited to see you all!

We had several of our volunteers on scene for this fire. It was a long night, but working together as one big team we can accomplish a lot. This is why we have our 28E agreements .
