With the approaching Winter Weather, the Lone Jack Fire Protection District would like to pass on some important information:

Key Fire Safety Reminders

-Clear the Fire Hydrant: Shovel a 3-foot perimeter around hydrants near your home. This allows firefighters to find and access water quickly during an emergency.

-Exhaust Vent Safety: Clear snow away from furnace, dryer, and water heater vents. Blocked vents can cause deadly carbon monoxide to back up into your home.

-Space Heater Caution: Keep all heaters at least 3 feet away from anything flammable (blankets, curtains, furniture) and always plug them directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord.

-Safety Check: Ensure your home has working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every level. Keep flashlights and extra batteries ready in case of power outages; never use candles for light.

Travel & Home Protection

-Slow Down: Icy roads significantly increase stopping distances. If you must drive, increase your following distance and watch for ice on bridges and shaded areas.

-Prevent Frozen Pipes: Let faucets drip slightly and keep cabinet doors open to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.

-Check on Neighbors: Reach out to elderly or vulnerable neighbors to ensure they are warm and have necessary supplies.

Outdoor Safety & Shoveling

-Be Safe: Shoveling snow can be a major strain on your heart. Take it easy!

-Safe Shoveling: Warm up before starting, push snow instead of lifting it, and take frequent breaks to avoid overexertion.

-Dress in Layers: Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing.

-Take Breaks: Don't overexert yourself; push the snow instead of lifting it whenever possible.

-Stay Hydrated: You can still get dehydrated in the cold.

As always, we are staffed and ready to respond if you need us. We may utilize the above pictured vehicle, which is our Brush 2, and has a 9’ Stainless Steel plow attached. This allows emergency crews to get to you in an emergency even when your driveway may not be clear of snow. We hope you will stay inside, safe and warm, but don’t hesitate to call if you need help!
