Taylorville Fire Department

Sangamon Road is closed from Spresser Street to Houston Street. Multiple lines down and trees across the road. Please avoid the area and allow crews to clear debris.

The National Weather Service is predicting two rounds of storms to impact the area on Wednesday June 17th, 2026.
Please monitor the weather via local media outlets. We will update you of any changes. Keep in mind these following points...

1. Have a plan to seek shelter if indicated. The Taylorville Fire Department is a designated storm shelter so don't hesitate to come if you are in the area or do not have access to one.

2. Stay tuned to local media throughout the day for updates.

3. 2 outdoor weather sirens, located on E. Main Cross near the Food Pantry and Airlawn Drive near the airport, are currently not operational. Our maintenance vendor was working on them yesterday and has to order parts to finish the repair. All of the other sirens are functional.

4. Residents are encouraged to sign up for our mass notification system called Hyper Reach. See the attached photo for 5 easy ways to sign up so that notifications come straight to your phone.

5. TFD is in constant contact with the Weather Service during events like this and will push out notifications as soon as possible.
