Following severe storms that swept through the region overnight, the Fairfield Glade Police Department has issued a safety advisory regarding widespread storm damage and community disruption this morning.

The severe weather has left numerous trees and large limbs down, resulting in several roadways being partially or completely blocked. Local authorities are actively responding to the situation.

The Fairfield Glade Police Department, the FGCC Road Crew, and local utility providers are working continuously to clear blocked streets, eliminate hazards, and restore essential services. Motorists are urged to exercise extreme caution, reduce driving speeds, and completely avoid any hazardous or blocked roadways.

Residents are asked to provide emergency and utility personnel with ample room to perform their restoration work safely. Officials emphasize that residents must never approach or drive over downed power lines.

Community members are encouraged to remain patient as restoration efforts proceed throughout the area.
