⚠️🚨🚨Berne Township Community🚨🚨⚠️
Let’s have a conversation, if you are not essential employees, then its simple - please do not be on the roadways. The department has already been out and about responding to calls, medial emergencies. Our apparatus’s are larger than a normal car, wider than a normal car or truck. It is not easy or safe to maneuver around traffic in these road conditions we are encountering. Stay off the roadways, unnecessary travel may impede our crews responses. The storm has only begun. Stay tuned for any notifications.

LEVEL THREE
Fairfield county is now under a level three snow emergency. All roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel. No one should be driving during these conditions unless it is absolutely necessary to travel or a personal emergency exists. All employees should contact their employer to see if they should report to work. Those traveling on the roads may subject themselves to arrest.
