Well friends, the invasion that is Bonnaroo officially continues TODAY! Expect heavy traffic delays and thousands of new neighbors for the next week!

For those of you camping, please follow these few simple tips to make your stay more enjoyable:

1. Keep designated fire lanes clear. This not only allows us to navigate the site quickly and safely, but allows you to leave festival grounds in the event of a personal emergency. Firefighters will move your tents and/or have vehicles towed.

2. No open fires are allowed on festival grounds. Small grills for cooking are allowed. Ensure the grill is cool to the touch before leaving it unattended.

3. Sky lanterns (aka Chinese or Wish Lanterns) are illegal for the general public's use in Tennessee. Only licensed pyrotechnicians can operate sky lanterns here. Leave them at home.

4. Be aware of carbon monoxide dangers. Fresh air intakes on RV's should be located away from neighboring exhaust. Ensure your RV has a working CO detector installed. Only run your vehicle in a well ventilated area with no one camping or sitting near the exhaust. Carbon monoxide is a silent killer.

5. Please move to the far right side of the roadway for ALL emergency vehicles. (Yes, this includes you pedestrians!) Emergency responses can change dramatically in 30 seconds, you slowing the emergency responders down by walking or driving in the road could be that 30 second delay.

6. HYDRATE! Temperatures are expected to be in the mid to upper 90’s later this week with index values cresting 100°. These are dangerous temperatures. Please start drinking WATER now and do not stop until you leave the site. Your body will be losing fluids constantly sitting in the heat. Please replace it with cool water throughout your stay!

We officially make the transition to Bonnaroo Fire Department today (rest assured we will still respond promptly to emergencies in the remainder of our area). Stay hydrated and have a great week friends!

HAPPY ROO!

Water levels are dropping across the Hillsboro area, but numerous roadways remain flooded or blocked by down trees / utility lines.

1: Turn around, don't drown! Coffee County Rescue Squad has responded to multiple water rescue calls this morning.
2: Treat ALL down utility lines as if they are energized. Duck River Electric & Ben Lomand Connect crews are working across our county restoring service.
3: Do NOT drive around road closed signs or caution tape. Coffee County Highway Dept only has so many signs and Coffee County Sheriff's Department only has so many deputies to block roadways. Please don't attempt to drive around these barricades. They're in place for your safety.
4: SLOW DOWN AND MOVE OVER FOR ALL STOPPED EMERGENCY AND UTILITY WORKERS! It's been a long night for everyone and we're all tired. Please give us some room to do our jobs safely!
5: Don't forget to come get mom some delicious hickory smoked pork BBQ and our famous pit smoked chicken SATURDAY! Hillsboro Volunteer Fire Department's Annual Fundraiser Barbecue starts at 10am and will be a drive thru, so you can get on to enjoying some beautiful weather this weekend and celebrating those moms!

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE: 🚨

Hillsboro Viola Road, Asbury Road, and numerous backroads are flooded in multiple spots.

With more rain coming into the daylight hours, please expect additional flooding of backroads and highways. The Coffee County Highway Dept has crews all over the county clearing roadways, Duck River Electric crews are scouring the county working on restoring power, and Coffee County Rescue Squad's crews are standing by for any water emergencies. If you don't have to be out for the next several hours, please give these folks some time to work safely. Remember to move over and slow down for any stopped emergency or utility workers!

Slow down, drive safely, and remember TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!
