To the older generation of the Frederick Area the 7 digit local number has NOT been monitored by our volunteer first responders since 2005 when we started using pagers through the 911 dispatch center. Since 2012 the best way for your emergency to get Firefighters or First Responders is to DIAL 911.

FYI SDHWY 10 BIG BRIDGE PROJECT is trekking along even though there's an abundance of water flowing down the James River. Here's some pictures on the way to Columbia.

If you live along the Elm River or Elm Lake expect rise of water and flow over next few days.

Rain reports last night; Kulm area 5+ inches, Ellendale area 4-4.5 inches of rain for LAST NIGHT"S, storm on top of the 4+ we got over the last week's blessings. Road damage was already visible to our storm chasers last night in west and center county and should be in full swing by this morning.

Those folks along the James River, Please get your hay to high ground as the James is expected to reach moderate flood stage in the next few days. Nothing plugs culverts, bridges quite as effective as floating round bales!

PLEEEZE! Stay out of the outback and allow TWP and county crews "safe" the roads, DO NOT drive through standing, flowing water. or past road closed signs. As wet as it was before the storm (and how fast we got the water last night), I am sure we have migrating culverts in the area. Stay safe out there!

After another inch plus of rain last night it was enjoyable drive to Columbia. Thank you to the Brown County DOT paving crews for upgrading back to pavement on the county roads in east central and north east Brown County.
