🌟Choctaw Community Update 🌟
We're grateful to report that Choctaw weathered Saturday's storms with minimal damage and, thankfully, no loss of life. Our hearts go out to those who were impacted during this time.
Please note that the City of Choctaw is not responsible for clearing fallen tree limbs. If you have debris on your property and wish to dispose of it safely by burning, please contact the Choctaw Fire Department for guidance on burn information and permits. Let's work together to ensure the safe and responsible management of fallen debris in our area.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we navigate through this period together!
