A beautiful sight but treacherous conditions

Dan Feuer: Editor

Fairfield Bay has so far been lucky enough to avoid any major power outages or water line breaks according to DPS. The police department highly recommends everyone to stay at home unless it’s an emergency. Barricades have  been put in place for your safety and traveling around them or moving them is subject to penalties and of course putting yourself and others in danger.

Listening to the scanner here at home people are traveling and getting stuck, so once again it can’t be stressed enough that unless it’s an emergency stay at home. The emergency personnel are doing the best they can and are needed for emergency situations
