Jan 20 26 - Murphy Morning Show: Poultry Farm Fire, Winter Watch, Murphy Events

Start your Tuesday with Sara and the Murphy Morning Show, bringing you the latest from Murphy, Cherokee County, and our mountain neighbors.In today’s episode, we cover Cherokee County leaders continuing to highlight a resolution pushing back on what they call abuse of the federal Antiquities Act, and why they want residents to stay informed as land and conservation decisions could affect local access, recreation, and future development.We also revisit the Andrews Valley Poultry Farm fire from the evening of January seventeenth, where a large poultry house was destroyed, causing major losses but thankfully no reported injuries. The story is sparking fresh conversation about rural fire safety, keeping driveways clear for emergency vehicles, checking smoke alarms, and supporting local volunteer fire departments.Then we look ahead to changing winter weather later this week, with a regional system that could bring periods of rain and possible wintry mix in higher elevations and on back roads. Drive smart, watch the shaded spots, and give yourself extra time if conditions turn slick.After the forecast, we wrap with community happenings, including arts activities in downtown Murphy and “Murph the Yeti” themed painting with the Valley River Arts Guild, plus winter classes and carving nights at Olive’s Porch.
