🚒 Attention Auxier Residents 🚒

Starting today after church, if you hear sirens throughout town, please do not be alarmed.

Today marks the annual kickoff of Vacation Bible School at Auxier Free Will Baptist Church! Following church services, children attending VBS will have the opportunity to ride on our fire trucks as we parade through the community.

This is a long-standing tradition shared between Auxier Fire Rescue and Auxier Free Will Baptist Church, and it’s one of our favorite ways to celebrate the children in our community. Our kids are the future, and we are proud to support them and the programs that help them grow.

If you see the parade passing by, be sure to wave, smile, and help us wish these children a fun, safe, and blessed week at Vacation Bible School.

Thank you for your continued support of our community and its youth.

⚠️ WEATHER ALERT FOR AUXIER & SURROUNDING AREAS ⚠️

The National Weather Service in Jackson, Ky is forecasting strong to severe thunderstorms moving through Eastern Kentucky tonight. Main threats include heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts, frequent lightning, and the possibility of localized flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Residents should stay weather aware throughout the evening and overnight hours.

With recent rainfall across the region, it will not take much additional rain to create hazardous conditions on roadways and small creeks. Never attempt to drive through water covering the roadway — “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”

Auxier Fire Rescue asks everyone to:
• Secure outdoor items that could blow away in strong winds
• Keep phones charged in case of power outages
• Monitor local weather alerts and warnings
• Avoid unnecessary travel during heavy storms
• Report emergencies through 911 immediately

Please stay safe tonight and continue monitoring updates from our page.

⚠️ Community Reminder from Auxier Fire Rescue ⚠️

We have had several instances throughout our district where damaged power lines, trees, and other storm-related hazards during heavy rain, storms, and thunderstorms were not reported to our dispatch center.

When these incidents are not called in, it delays emergency response and prevents the fire department from gathering the appropriate resources needed to safely handle the situation.

‼️Please ‼️read the newsletter below for more info.
