OZARK COUNTY IN BURN BAN - The Ozark County Commissioners have issued a countywide burn ban effective immediately. Ozark County Presiding Commissioner Terry Newton said the commissioners contacted the state Fire Marshall’s office and learned that the county qualified for the ban.“We are so dry, and Bakersfield has been having some issues,” said Newton. “Basically we just want people to be aware so they don’t do dumb stuff.”During the ban, residents are not allowed to burn any materials such as trash, debris or vegetation unless it is specifically approved by county and fire department officials. According to the Missouri Department of Public Safety website,violating the ban may result in penalties including being charged with a Class A misdemeanor.Ozark County is in a severe drought, according to the U.S. drought monitor. This is despite having an exceptionally wet spring and early summer. The last significant rainfall was in early July. Starpress.com, a website that maintains county specific precipitation and temperature historic information, showed that Ozark County had less than 1 1/2 inches of rain in August. Less than 1/2 inch has been reported in September. The forecast for the next 10 days shows a chance of thunderstorms with temperatures hovering in the upper 80s and low 90s.

Tomorrow 9/11 is the day we all said we would not forget. Sadly some have or just don't care anymore. Some probably have no idea what it is all about. That day the fire service lost 343 from our Family. We have lost more as time goes on from the illnesses that they contacted while working to find our lost family. If you happen to see a firefighter stop and Thank them. Maybe send your Volunteer dept. a donation. Maybe just stop and stand in silence for those that gave all.

Crazy night tonight. First call was a roll over wreck in Oakland. As we were leaving that call paged out for a medical in Promiseland. As we were clearing that scene paged out for a brush fire in Oakland. Must be a full moon. Thank a firefighter when you see them.
