🔥🚒 SPACE HEATER SAFETY | TRIMBLE VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT 🚒🔥

As temperatures drop, space heaters can help keep us warm — but if used improperly, they can create a serious fire hazard. A few simple precautions can help protect your home, family, and loved ones!

🏠 SPACE HEATER SAFETY TIPS:

✅ Keep 3 feet of clearance between your space heater and anything that can burn, including furniture, curtains, blankets, and clothing.

🔌 Plug directly into a wall outlet. Never use an extension cord or power strip with a space heater.

🛑 Turn it off when you leave or go to sleep. Never leave a space heater running unattended.

🐶 Protect children and pets. Keep them a safe distance away from hot surfaces and heaters.

🔍 Check for damage. Never use a heater with frayed cords, damaged plugs, or other visible defects.

🛡️ Choose safety features. Use a heater with automatic tip-over protection and overheat shut-off, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

🚒 REMEMBER: Space heaters are a leading cause of home heating fires. Taking a few extra seconds to use yours safely can help prevent a tragedy.

🚒 TRUCK TALK TUESDAY — DID YOU KNOW? 🔥

Ever wonder what makes a fire truck more than just a big red truck? Here’s a little behind-the-scenes knowledge! 👨‍🚒

🧯 The Pump: Our fire apparatus uses a pump to move water from the tank or a hydrant through the hoses to help fight fires.

💦 The Hoses: Different hose sizes serve different purposes, helping firefighters deliver water where it’s needed most.

🚨 Lights & Sirens: These help alert drivers and clear a path so emergency crews can respond as safely and quickly as possible. Always pull over safely when an emergency vehicle approaches.

🛠️ The Tools: Every tool has a job, from forcing entry to helping with rescues and protecting our community.

Every piece of equipment has a purpose, and every firefighter trains to use it when seconds count! ❤️

👇 LET’S TALK TRUCKS! What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to know about our fire trucks or firefighting equipment? Drop your questions in the comments, and we’ll do our best to answer them!

🚒❤️ A TRUCK THAT REPRESENTS SERVICE, DEDICATION, AND COMMUNITY! ❤️🚒

Here at Trimble Volunteer Fire Department, our fire apparatus is more than just a truck — it represents the commitment our firefighters make to protect our families, neighbors, and community.

Every piece of equipment, every training session, and every call we answer helps us be ready when our community needs us most. We are proud to serve, honored to protect, and grateful for the support of the community we call home! 🇺🇸

When seconds count, preparation matters. Our volunteers stand ready to answer the call, day or night!

Fun fact about Truck 2, it is a mini pumper tanker. It holds about 2,000 gallons of water (approximately 16,680 pounds of just water). It duel axel. It is one of the newest things we have added to our fleet and this is the biggest. This truck requires the most amount of training not only to operate the pump panel but also to drive. You might see this truck at fires and wreck scenes.

From our family to yours, thank you for supporting your local volunteer fire department! ❤️🚒
