Meridian Fire Department

Earlier today, Meridian Fire crews responded to a residential structure fire near E. 2nd Street and Williams Street. Firefighters arrived to find two vehicles on fire with flames spreading to nearby trees, a shed, and the home. Crews quickly contained the fire and prevented further spread to surrounding properties.

Two cats were safely rescued and reunited with their family, and there were no reported injuries.

Thank you to our partner agencies for their assistance on scene and coverage during the incident.

This Week's Water Safety Tip 💧

Before you dive in, know what’s below the surface.

Always enter unknown water feet first — never dive into shallow, murky, or unfamiliar water. Hidden rocks, debris, sudden drop-offs, or shallow depths can lead to serious injuries in seconds.

Take a moment to check the water, play it safe, and help protect yourself and others this summer.

This week, we proudly recognize and celebrate the dedicated men and women who serve our community as EMS providers.

Whether responding to medical emergencies, offering comfort in moments of crisis, or providing lifesaving care when every second counts, our EMS personnel answer the call with compassion, professionalism, and courage every single day.

EMS Week is an opportunity to honor those who stand ready 24/7 to serve others — often on someone’s worst day. Your commitment, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication do not go unnoticed.

From all of us at the Meridian Fire Department: Thank you for the incredible work you do to protect and care for our community.

We are proud to serve beside you.
