Dunklin Fire Protection District

Last night, around 9:10 firefighters were dispatched to a first alarm in the Hunters Glen subdivision. The initial call came in is as a fire on a deck. First in units arrived with heavy fire in the back of the structure that extended into living space. Thankfully no one was home and no injuries occurred.
Thank you to all the departments for your assistance.

📢 Attention - Important Update:
CodeRED is being replaced and will no longer be available for Jefferson County 911 Dispatch notification alerts beginning in October, 2023. We are now registering Jefferson County citizens to receive notifications from our new emergency alert system, Everbridge.

Everbridge is an emergency alert system that works similar to CodeRED. It allows subscribers to receive alerts and information pertaining to police, fire, severe weather, health and safety. Registration is simple and you pick the delivery method: text, email, or a phone call. Scan the QR code or visit the website listed below to register.

Update 7/11/2023 @3:45PM: The wells are starting back up at this time. When your water returns, the 24 Hour Boil Advisory will begin.

There is a massive water main break that is affecting all of the City of Pevely. The city is currently on a boil water advisory. We do not know how long this will be in place and is only for water that is being consumed - water used for showering, brushing your teeth, cooking, and doing laundry does not need to be boiled before use. We will update the website and page as we get additional information.

We have been made aware of a water main break in the City of Pevely. At this time, we do not have any additional information, but will update Facebook and the website as any information becomes available.
