Sand Bags Prepared for Possible Blooding

Bob Dalley, who is a member of the Fire Department has asked me to share this information with the community: 

On Thursday March 9, members of the Branch, the PV fire department and community members gathered together and on a proactive basis, prepared 250-300 sand bags--just in case. Some bags have been positioned in known flooding areas while about 150-175 remain at the fire station parking lot. We appreciate the selfless service of all involved. 

Rain is forecasted over the next few days and with the significant snow on the ground the possibility exists for flooding. 

 While the sand bags remain at the fire station and are available for community use, we'd ask that you not use the bags unless you're highly confident a problem will exist. If flood trouble seems to be approaching your home, call 911. The PVFD will respond as timely as possible. Friends and neighbors should also be enlisted to help if needed. 

We're grateful for the moisture in any form and pray that whatever occurs in the next few days and weeks will happen at a reasonable pace.
