Fire officials urging people to stay extra alert when driving in the rain.
"If there is any water on the roads, we ask the public to avoid them and not go through any coned off areas because those are usually coned off for flooding," said Battalion Chief Jake Rosebrock.

"Look at your local weather and please slow down for the rain. Drive with your headlights on and just be cautious of any emergency equipment on the road."
