Union County officials bracing for winter storm impacts

Union County officials say they are taking this weekend’s potential winter storm seriously, staffing up emergency crews and urging residents to prepare now as the threat of ice and a wintry mix approaches.

County leaders say they are not waiting for the first flake to fall. Road crews have already begun pretreating streets, schools are closely monitoring conditions, and emergency management officials say resources are in place ahead of the weekend.

“We have staffing around the clock beginning on Saturday,” said Jon Williams, Union County fire marshal.

Williams said emergency services are prepared, but stressed that keeping people safe will take cooperation from the community. Officials hope their sense of urgency carries over to residents as conditions begin to change. #Weather #News #Local
