⚠️ SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT ⚠️

The Monongah Fire Department would like to remind all residents to remain weather aware as severe thunderstorms are expected throughout the region today. These storms may produce damaging winds, heavy rainfall, dangerous lightning, and localized flooding.

Please take a few moments now to prepare and stay safe:

⛈️ Stay Indoors During Lightning
Avoid outdoor activities and stay away from windows and electrical appliances during storms.

🌳 Secure Outdoor Items
Bring in or tie down patio furniture, grills, trampolines, and other loose objects that could become dangerous in high winds.

🚗 Never Drive Through Flooded Roadways
Turn Around, Don’t Drown. Even a small amount of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.

✅ Never leave any fire unattended – Always fully extinguish campfires and burn piles.
✅ Clear dry brush and debris – Keep your yard and surrounding areas free of flammable materials.

April is Autism Awareness Month 💙🧩

The Monongah Fire Department is proud to support Autism Awareness Month and stand with individuals, families, and communities affected by autism. Together, we can promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusion for all.

🔹 Fact #1: Autism affects 1 in 36 children in the United States, making awareness and education more important than ever.
🔹 Fact #2: Autism is a spectrum—meaning individuals experience a wide range of strengths, challenges, and abilities.
🔹 Fact #3: Early intervention and support services can greatly improve communication, learning, and social skills.

As first responders, we are committed to serving everyone in our community with compassion, respect, and understanding.

Let’s continue to learn, support, and advocate—because awareness leads to acceptance. 💙

• Use caution with equipment that may create sparks
• Keep vehicles off dry grass
• Be aware that dry leaves, grass, and brush can ignite quickly

⚠️ Important Reminder:
Per West Virginia law, outdoor burning is prohibited from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM between March 1 and May 31.
