As Fall makes it's way to the North island we are seeing lots of wood stoves starting up. A reminder to everyone to take advantage of the nice weekend and give your chimney and stove pipe a good clean out. And please don't discard ash in the town yard waste drop off.

Twenty-five years after the tragic events of September 11, 2001, we honor the 2,977 innocent lives lost and the brave first responders who gave everything.

​2,977 Innocent Lives: Civilians, service members, and first responders lost at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

​412 First Responders: Brave heroic responders—including 343 firefighters, 60 police officers, and 8 paramedics—who made the ultimate sacrifice on September 11.
​Continuing Toll: Over 360 FDNY members and hundreds of other first responders have since passed away from 9/11-related cancers and illnesses caused by toxic exposure during rescue and recovery efforts.

​Their courage, sacrifice, and memory will never be forgotten.

Definitely not the best way to celebrate World Ocean Day. At 19:15 we were dispatched to a chemical spill. Our crews determined it is a acetone type substance that has made it's way into the storm drain. For residents in the area of Catala and Campbell way there may be a chemical smell until it dissipates.

A reminder to all residents our storm drains make their way to the ocean please do no put any pollutants into them.
