Recruitment
Have you ever wondered who responds when there is a 9-11 fire or medical emergency? The answer is: its people just like you.
Places of Public Assembly
Every day, millions of people wake up, go to work or school, and take part in social events. But every so often the unexpected happens: an earthquake, a fire, a chemical spill, an act of terrorism or some other disaster. Routines change drastically, and people are suddenly aware of how fragile their lives and routines can be. Each disaster can have lasting effects — people may be seriously injured or killed, and devastating and costly property damage can occur. People entering any public assembly building need to be prepared in case of an emergency
Daylight Savings Time Begins
The Fire Chief would like to remind everyone that this Sunday (3/13) we set our clocks ahead one hour (Spring Ahead). Also, it is the time to replace the batteries in your Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors.
Cigarette Smoking
The place where we feel safest — at home — is where most smoking-materials structure fires, deaths, and injuries occur.
Pet Safety
Pets give us comfort, friendship, and unconditional love. Our connection to them can be among the strongest relationships in our lives. But pets can cause fires. We need to be careful with pets in the home.
Fire Extinguishers
Use a portable fire extinguisher when the fire is confined to a small area, such as a wastebasket, and is not growing
Clothes Dryers
Doing laundry is most likely part of your everyday routine. But did you know how important taking care of your clothes dryer is to the safety of your home?
Portable Generators
Downed utility lines, power company blackouts, heavy snow falls or summer storms can all lead to power outages. Many people turn to a portable generator for a temporary solution without knowing the risks.
Car Fires
Cars can catch fire for many reasons. Mechanical or electrical issues are the most common cause. If you see smoke or flames or smell burning rubber or plastic, respond immediately.
