From the Fire Department:
* Please make sure you have a functioning smoke detector and Carbon Monoxide Detector. If you need assistance with either of these things, please contact the fire station and we can come check them for you, as well as offer suggestions on where to place these devices within your home.
* Please be sure all heating appliances have been serviced and ready for the winter months.
* Please do not hesitate to call the Fire Department if you suspect Carbon Monoxide, notice unusual natural gas or propane odors, if you have detection systems that are alarming even though there are no signs of smoke or fire. We have additional equipment to check these items out, and peace of mind is priceless. At times, residents think they are "inconveniencing" the fire department to come out late at night or holidays, but that is what we are here for. We want to make sure all our residents are safe and remain in good health.
* Please be sure your house number is clearly visible from the road. Properly displayed house numbers saves time for responding units to locate your specific address.
* For your safety and ours, we ask local motorists to be cautious of apparatus coming and going from the fire station. This is particularly important when returning to the firehouse and the apparatus is backing into the station. Please yield and stay a safe distance back, so the apparatus can be safely parked in the fire station.
* For those not aware, as of February 2018 we placed into service our new Rescue-Engine. Again, this would not be possible without the support of the community.
As always, we hope for a safe fall and winter for all of our residents and those passing through as well.
