RANKIN COUNTY ENACTS OUTDOOR BURN BAN --Press Release from Rankin EOC-- August 5, 2015 - On August 5, 2015 at an Emergency Meeting called pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. 19-3-19, the Rankin County Board of Supervisors enacted an outdoor burn ban for all areas of Rankin situated outside of municipal boundaries. The burn ban, which was authorized by the Mississippi Forestry Commission due to extremely dry conditions, takes effect immediately and will continue until September 4, 2015, or sooner if lifted by action of the Board of Supervisors at the recommendation of the Mississippi Forestry Commission.
RETIRED FIRE CHIEF PASSES AWAY May 14, 2015 - It is with deep regret we announce the passing of Retired Reservoir Fire Chief Bob Farris. Chief Farris served the Reservoir Fire Department for over 20 years and retired in 1996. Visitation will be held on Sunday May 17, 2015 from 4:30-5:30 pm. A Memorial Service will follow at 5:30 pm. Visitation and Memorial Service will be held at the Reservoir Community Center, 2230 Spillway Road, Brandon, MS 39047.
ANNUAL HYDRANT TESTING TO BEGIN May 5, 2014 - The Reservoir Fire Department will begin its annual hydrant testing today. This testing process is required by the Mississippi State Rating Bureau in order for the Reservoir Fire Department to maintain its current fire rating. Also, this process will ensure that the hydrant and water system is functioning properly and it is providing an adequate water supply in case of a fire. The areas along Spillway Road, Old Fannin Road, Hugh Ward Boulevard and Grants Ferry Road will be conducted first, followed by the Castlewoods area, and concluding in the Northshore area to include Northshore Parkway, Bay Pointe, Palisades and Marblehead. Testing will take place Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Each hydrant will be opened and flowed for approximately five seconds. With approximately 1,000 hydrants in the fire district to test, the testing process will take at least three to four weeks to complete. During this process, the water from faucets or washing machines may become slightly discolored. This discoloration poses no health hazards and can be alleviated by running the faucets for a few seconds or running an empty cycle through your washing machine. Once the faucet has been turned on for a few seconds, water clarity should return.
RESERVOIR FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT IMPROVES FIRE RATING February 4, 2014 - During the month of January, the Reservoir Fire Protection District was visited by the Mississippi State Rating Bureau (MSRB) to perform its required survey and grading. This survey and grading takes places every four (4) years and is a component in determining the fire protection class of the fire district. We are happy to announce that we have been notified in writing by the MSRB that the Reservoir Fire Protection District has improved from a Class Seven (7) to a Class Six (6) classification. This was confirmed effective as of January 29, 2014 by the MSRB. This will only affect properties located within the legal fire protection district boundary lines. If you have any questions, please contact your insurance agent or the MSRB at (601) 981-2915.
