SHOP UPDATE 🏗️🔧

What a difference a few weeks makes!

The new TDT shop is officially up, and we’re now working on getting the inside finished. Insulation is going in, and we’re getting closer every day to turning this empty building into a fully equipped vehicle inspection facility.

There’s still plenty of work ahead—electrical, lighting, equipment, lifts and finishing out the interior—but it’s pretty exciting to finally be standing inside something that started as a plan on paper.

This new facility will give us a dedicated space for automotive, heavy truck, RV and litigation-related inspections right here in Carlyle, Illinois.

One step closer. More updates coming soon!

🚜 HARVEST SEASON SAFETY 🌽

Harvest season is beginning across our area. As farmers head to the fields and large equipment returns to the roadways, Highland-Pierron Fire Department reminds everyone to slow down, stay alert, and help keep this harvest safe.

For motorists:
• Watch for slow-moving farm equipment, especially on rural roads and near field entrances.
• Slow down early and allow plenty of following distance.
• Never pass unless you have a clear view and can do so legally and safely.
• Remember that equipment may need to swing wide before turning.
• Be patient—a few extra minutes is never worth risking a life.

For farmers and equipment operators:
• Make sure lights, reflectors, and slow-moving vehicle emblems are clean and visible.
• Inspect equipment regularly and remove accumulated dust, chaff, and crop residue from hot surfaces.
• Keep properly rated fire extinguishers on combines, tractors, and support vehicles.
• Shut equipment down before clearing blockages or performing repairs.
• Keep children and bystanders away from operating equipment, grain bins, and moving vehicles.
• Always carry a phone and know the address, nearest roadway, or field location in case you need to call 911.

Harvest is one of the busiest and most important times of the year for our farming community. Please give farmers the room and patience they need to work safely.

From everyone at Highland-Pierron Fire Department, we wish our area farmers a safe and successful harvest! 🚒🌾
