Strong storms moved through our area overnight, keeping RRFD crews extremely busy through the night and into this morning.

Our firefighters responded to numerous incidents, including downed trees, transformer fires, and multiple interstate motor vehicle accidents caused by the severe weather. Crews worked tirelessly in difficult conditions to clear roadways, mitigate hazards, and keep the public safe.

We are proud of the outstanding work and professionalism displayed by all of our members during this weather event. Thank you to our dispatchers, utility crews, law enforcement partners, and surrounding agencies for their teamwork throughout the storm response.

Please continue to use caution while traveling, as there may still be debris, standing water, and isolated hazards throughout the area.

Great job by all involved!
