Fire Department warming station: Due to the forecast of significant snowfall and high winds, the Gibraltar Fire and Rescue Station will be open beginning at 6:00 p.m. Saturday and will remain open through Monday for people who may need a safe, warm place during the storm. Anyone planning to come should arrive before conditions worsen. Travel during the height of the storm may become difficult, dangerous, or impossible, and emergency responders may not be able to reach you if you become stranded or stuck. Residents using the station should bring essential personal items, including medications, bedding or blankets if needed, food and beverages, and other necessary supplies.
