Due to ongoing dry conditions, low humidity, and high winds, the fire danger remains VERY HIGH across the Monongahela National Forest. We ask all visitors to use extra caution with any activity that could start a wildfire. Please fully extinguish campfires, avoid burning debris, and practice responsible fire safety at all times. Thank you for helping protect your public lands.

We were contacted by the National Guard on Friday at 4pm about a food distribution for Saturday. We convinced them to wait till Sunday at an agreed time of 2-5 pm. The Guard arrived at 1130 on Sunday and started handing out the food at 1230. All the food was gone by 130. This was a National Guard operation, through the Governor’s Office, not Webster OES.
Any questions or complaints need to be directed to the WV Governor’s Office!! (304)558-2000

I was just told the Guard will have 250 prepackaged boxes of food. Distribution will start at 2pm and go till 5 o’clock or till the food is gone. We did not organize this so I have no further information.

The WV National Guard will be distributing food tomorrow at Webster Springs Elementary School at 2 o’clock till 5 o’clock Sunday Nov 2. They advised no income guidelines. Traffic will turn down McCutcheon St at library and will leave out McGraw Ave by Elk River Terrace. Please pass the word.

Webster County 911 would like to recognize Telecommunicator Roddie Brown, who is working his final shift tonight.
We celebrated Roddie’s retirement with a small gathering and presented him with a plaque in appreciation of his nearly 13 years of dedicated service to the citizens and first responders of Webster County.

Congratulations, Howdy! Wishing you all the best in your next chapter — you’ll be greatly missed!
