OPEN BURNING BAN
SEPTEMBER 5, 2024
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that due to excess dryness, lack of measurable precipitation, and current fire hazard conditions, pursuant to Kentucky Statute, I do hereby issue a NO OUTSIDE BURN ORDER county wide, effective immediately, banning all open burning in all areas of Meade County, Kentucky.
This ORDER includes the lighting of fireworks and burning of any material outdoors.
A lack of rain in recent weeks has produced dry conditions in area grasslands and woodlands, lawns, and shrubbery, which poses an increased risk of damage from wildfires, caused by open burning and fireworks.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that this ban be effective immediately; and will be lifted by order, after sufficient rainfall to abate the hazardous conditions.
This 5th day of September 2024.

Meade County EMS will offer a AHA CPR class on September 25th, 2024. It will be from 6-10 PM EDT at

The AHA is the leader in resuscitation science, education, and training, and publisher of the official Guidelines for CPR and ECC. Millions of healthcare providers and others trust the AHA for their lifesaving training, and 100% of the AHA’s profits go back into supporting its lifesaving mission.

In April, a hacker began selling stolen data from National Public Data (NPD), a consumer data broker. The successful access was not acknowledged by NPD until August 12th. The website of the data broker had contained a zip file with the back-end passwords needed to access the database.
As a consumer data broker, the NPD database contained names, addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers for people going back decades.

Online Scams You Need To Know:
1 – PHISHING
Phishing scams are based on communication made via email or on social networks. Cyber criminals trick you into clicking malicious links and access a website that looks legit, but it’s actually controlled by them. You might end up giving your login credentials and other personal information.
2 – ROMANCE SCAMS
A romance scam usually takes place on social dating networks. Social networking sites are inevitable apps to look for love as well but you need to be careful because you never know who can you meet.
3 – TRAVEL SCAMS
You receive an email containing an amazing offer for an exceptional and hard to refuse destination that expires in a short period of time. The problem is that some of these offers actually hide some necessary costs until you pay for the initial offer. Others just take your money without sending you anywhere.
4 – FAKE NEWS SCAMS
Misleading resources and content found online is a serious problem that should concern our society. It makes impossible for people to distinguish between what’s real and what is not.
5 – TECH SUPPORT ONLINE SCAMS
These tech “experts” pretend to know everything about your computer, how it got hacked and many other details that help them gain your trust and convince victims into giving their sensitive information. Even worst, they try to convince potential victims to pay for unnecessary technical support services.
6 – SMS SCAMS
Smartphones are essential for communication, online shopping, banking or any other online activities. Be careful about these SMS you receive and don’t click on suspicious links that could redirect to malicious sites trying to steal your valuable data.
7 – MAKE MONEY FAST SCAMS
Cybercriminals lure you into believing you can make money in a fast and easy way on the internet. The fraudulent posting of non-existent jobs for a variety of positions is part of the online criminals’ arsenal. This is quite effective approach especially when someone is in a difficult financial situation.
