IQ ESDA Coordinator and WGFA News Director Carl Gerdovich reports that the Cissna Park Fire Department and Village officials are assisting some residents in Cissna Park this evening who are evacuating their homes near the Route 49 bridge to the American legion home. No word on how many residents may be affected. Sandbags and sump pumps may be available for residents. Earlier in the day the waters had receded and IDOT officials had . Out of nowhere Pigeon Creek overflowed leading to some of the reported evacuations. Since then sandbags have been requested and are being delivered to the fire station in Cissna Park. Any Cissna Park residents in need of assistance should contact the Cissna Park Fire Department. Cissna Park apparently has things under control at the local level and have not contacted ESDA officials for additional assistance.
