🚨 04/08/2026 🚨

We have had a lot of phone calls asking about the smoke and haze within the area. There is a controlled burn down in Arkansas and West of Eagle Rock that is causing a lot of smoke in our area.

Due to the high wind and wind gusts we are experiencing, we advise no burning due to high wind conditions and humidity values.

The combination of pollen and smoke was brutal! Lol

So should you do a controlled burn during high winds??

Okay, so I deleted my earlier comment because as bad as the smoke was on a very windy day to even attempt a controlled burn, at least they didn't wait until Friday when people want to be outdoors for the weekend. Although I've seen that happen. And the smoke cleared the area quickly. But was still the use of poor professional judgment. Some people will think, oh, if they can burn during a ban, why can't I ??? Catastrophe waiting to happen.

On April 5, 2026, the SSCFPD rescue crews, comprising of Technical Rescue members, responded to a single-vehicle accident on Highway 13 in the vicinity of Purist Lane that was closed to all traffic for over an hour. The vehicle departed the roadway, traversing a 300 foot steep embankment before coming to rest on its side. Due to the nature of the incident, the driver required extrication through the rear window. Mercy Emergency Medical Services personnel accessed the patient location via ATV to administer treatment. Subsequently, the patient was transported out of the ravine to a waiting Air Care helicopter, which then flew them to a Springfield hospital for further medical attention.

Texting is the new drunk driving!

76 and purist lane? I thought that road was by Oakley's that's not near 76. I'm confused

still? And how does a big vehicle end up on its side after hitting a much smaller car? Are the big ones unstable?

Again!! Good lord

Take a Look!!" Independent Reporter just uploaded a video clip of that accident from Earlier prayers for all involved πŸ™

Head on collision means someone crossed the center line. I pray for all involved. We do need a way to enforce the hands free law.

It's not listed on crash reports, but I would bet even money the pickup truck was at fault.

As long as everyone got back to station #2... we appreciate your service. Traffic in the area.. regardless of "tourist season" is getting a little scary.

Such a tragedy. I could see them loading him in Life flight. Prayers whoever it was will be ok πŸ™πŸ»

What we need is a device on the car that disables all phones when inside the car, if the motor is running....

God bless the injured, and thank and good bless the First Responders πŸ™πŸ»
