The City of Orange Fire Department responded to a call on Highway 62 where crews had to make a “Double McRescue” when two workers were stranded at the top of the McDonald’s sign when the lift they were using malfunctioned.
Firefighters were able to safely bring the two workers down to solid ground.
The City of Orange would like to commend the Orange Fire Department for a job well done!
During the Thursday night Vidor City Council meeting, the need for completed surveys to help the city get a $25 million grant to improve drainage was brought forward as a pressing issue. The required 80 percent of citizens has not yet been reached.
If you reside in Vidor and haven’t completed this survey, please take five minutes of your time to help the city acquire a $25 million grant to prevent local houses from flooding.
Critieria for completion:
City Council member Misty Songe Garrett said she has forms available at her office (Comtex Wireless on North Main).
The survey is also available on the City of Vidor website here. That version allows you to simply check a range of numbers to indicate income.
The staff at the Vidor City Pool are working diligently to get ready for this summer’s season of swimming, splashing, and pool party fun! The current opening date is unknown due to equipment concerns. However, the City Pool is currently accepting applications for Lifeguard positions lasting throughout the summer season.
Applications are available at Vidor City Hall, located at 1395 North Main, Vidor, Texas, and should be completed and returned to the same location.
