🚨 ROAD CONDITIONS UPDATE – HUMBOLDT🚨

Road conditions throughout Humboldt, are hazardous and continuing to deteriorate due to ice and winter weather.

⚠️ Travel is strongly discouraged unless absolutely necessary.

Many roads are slick, with limited traction and reduced visibility. Emergency crews are actively responding to multiple different calls in the county and trying to get to them as fast and as safe as possible.

Stay safe, Humboldt. ❄️🙏

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our own, Deputy Kenny Smith. Our hearts are truly broken as we grieve the loss of a great friend, colleague, and dedicated public servant.

Deputy Kenny faithfully served the citizens of Gibson County for many years. He also served the City of Humboldt with the same commitment, integrity, and compassion. He was a true servant to his community, and his impact will be felt for many years to come.

Gibson County has lost a great man, and we are all better for having known and worked beside him.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May they find comfort in knowing how deeply he was respected and loved.

The Humboldt Area Rescue Squad/EMS spent the weekend conducting valuable hands-on training. Over the last few months, our training staff has been working hard to stay up to date with new techniques while still reinforcing the tried-and-true basics.

Basic Extrication Instructor and Rescue Lieutenant Steven Dolan, with the assistance of Director Jerry Privitt and Chief Richard Duncan, took time out of their weekend to guide some of our members through the fundamentals of vehicle extrication.

Training is one of the most important parts of being on the Rescue Squad. Things are constantly evolving in emergency response, and we must adapt and improve the way we operate to ensure the highest level of service to our community.

Our members continue to dedicate their time and energy to learning new skills and refining old ones — because when the call comes in, preparation makes all the difference. We’re proud of our team’s commitment, teamwork, and willingness to serve.

As we close the day, we respectfully ask that everyone keep the Vanderbilt LifeFlight team and their families in your thoughts and prayers. We extend our deepest prayers for healing, strength, and peace during this difficult time.
