The Clinton River has almost reached flood stage. It is flowing more than 32x what it was one week ago and we are expecting more rain today and tomorrow. During high water like this, it is very common for trees to fall across the river making it impassable and extremely dangerous to travel down. Our Swiftwater Rescue Team was out this morning to assist Utica Fire Dept to help rescue a trapped kayaker.![]()
We strongly recommend staying off of the river for the next few days until the water level recedes.

Please, do NOT drink and drive.Our dedicated men and women work all hours of the day and night, through any conditions including a worldwide pandemic. They are in the jail and on the road and we are very proud of them. So, it is frustrating and makes us sad when while they are diligently doing their job, someone by their own bad choices causes them injury or death. A person decided to drink and drive and now we have a Deputy in ICU. Prayers are welcome.

Local 1357 would like to remind all citizens to drive and operate with extreme caution while navigating around an active fire or EMS incident. Today while extinguishing a garage fire involving downed power lines, MHFD had one of our hoses driven over by a car. Luckily there was no damage to equipment and no injuries associated with this incident. ![]()

Water is our lifeline when it comes to fire fighting. Driving over a fire hose can not only damage equipment or cause injuries, it could disrupt our water supply during the most vulnerable moments of our job. Without water, we are unable to extinguish fires which allows us to preserve life and property.
