MLive just spoke to the Monticello postmaster, who confirmed that delivery trucks from Pine Bluff are not able to make the trip to Monticello, due to weather conditions.

Local mail delivery will not take place in Monticello, today, due to carry your safety.

The post office will attempt to open later today, based on staff being able to make it to work.

Decisions about Friday service will be made in the morning, based on weather and staffing conditions.

At 9:00 a.m. Tuesday morning, Kevin Griffin, team leader of the Drew Central Maintenance Department, notified me that Eric Chisom, Monticello Fire Chief, and other members of the Monticello Fire Department were responding to fire alarms in the Drew Central Multi-Purpose Gymnasium. (more…)

Sheriff Mark Gober has asked us to announce that his department is offering free prescription pick up and delivery to Drew County residents, due to the ice and snow.

Call the sheriffs office at 367-6211, to make arrangements.

At noon, Sunday afternoon this SUV caught fire, just west of Wilmar, while traveling east. Wilmar fire department and OEM responded.

Around 1 AM, Sunday morning, a chimney fire occurred and the sale the community. Damage was limited, due to the quick response of Selma, Winchester and Tillar fire department. Drew County OEM also responded.

Not to imply that any of these fires are related to cold weather conditions, but please be aware that more fires occur during times of inclement weather, due to extra heat being needed inside of homes. Please be careful.
