The Midway Volunteer Fire Department welcomed a new addition to the organization Friday with the acquisition of a second engine truck. The Pierce Manufacturing brand truck was built in Florida and picked up by department members at a factory in Houston late Friday afternoon.

Madison County and surrounding areas were hit with significant snowfall Sunday, with some areas seeing as many as seven inches. The rare winter storm resulted in power outages across the county, Monday school closures at Madisonville CISD and North Zulch ISD, along with multiple related closures or delayed starts for area businesses and government entities.
