Smokey the Bear in Gravois Mills

The Gravois Mills Fire Protection District has a new feature, Smokey the Bear. The big sign in front of the administrative building on Highway O proclaims the fire danger level, at all times. Yesterday, the level was low.
The Gravois Fire Board approved installing new generators, starting with the G-5 station. They’ve poured concrete on the site. A generator will be installed there and at the G-7 and G-4 stations, as funds are available. They will be used during electrical outages for heat and power in the stations, and can provide an emergency shelter, if need be.
