Due to the excessive heat, the Taylorville Fire Department will be open as a cooling center from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. for the remainder of the week.

If you do not have access to air conditioning or a safe way to escape the heat, please feel free to stop by the fire station and cool off.

Please stay hydrated, limit time outdoors, and check on family, friends, and neighbors who may be especially vulnerable to the heat.

It was a busy week of training at the Taylorville Fire Department.

TFD hosted a Paramedic Skills Week while also conducting a Rope Operations course focused on building the technical skills needed for complex rescue situations.

We would like to thank Ryan Evans for joining us as our expert instructor and sharing his knowledge and experience throughout the Rope Operations course.

TFD also teamed up with the Litchfield Fire Department, with a total of eight members completing the course. Training alongside our neighboring departments strengthens our capabilities, builds teamwork, and helps ensure we are prepared when these specialized skills are needed.

Special thank you to the Taylorville Lake staff for providing us a place to train and to everyone who helped make a busy and productive week of training possible.

Every blood donation can help save lives, and the need for blood never stops.

Giving blood is a simple way to make a real difference in our community. Donating can also help your body produce fresh red blood cells and reduce excess iron levels in the body.

Join us at the Taylorville Community Blood Drive:

Thursday, August 20
1:00–5:00 p.m.
Taylorville Fire Department Training Room
202 N. Main St.

A little time out of your day could mean everything to someone who needs it.

The American Red Cross has declared only the second national blood crisis in its history — and patients may already be feeling the impact. Blood donations have fallen to a four-year summer low, worsening this summer's emergency shortage. We are asking you to take action immediately to help save lives.
