⏰ Spring Forward = Safety Check!

When you change your clocks for Daylight Saving Time, take a moment to change the batteries in your smoke alarms too. 🔋🚨

Working smoke alarms provide an early warning and can save lives in a fire emergency. It only takes a minute to help protect your home and family.

✔ Replace smoke alarm batteries
✔ Test each alarm in your home
✔ Make sure alarms are installed in every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level

A quick check today can make a lifesaving difference tomorrow.

❄️ WINTER STORM SAFETY MESSAGE ❄️

A major winter storm is impacting large parts of the U.S. The National Association of State Fire Marshals (NASFM) urges everyone to take steps now to stay safe.

🔥 Keep space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn
⚠️ Never use ovens, grills, or generators to heat your home
🚨 Make sure smoke alarms and CO alarms are working
🕯️ Avoid candles—use flashlights when possible
🔌 Prepare for power outages with flashlights, batteries, and warm clothing
🚗 Avoid travel unless absolutely necessary

Cold weather increases the risk of fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. Preparation and safe choices save lives.

Stay warm. Stay informed. Stay safe.

01/27/2026

Power outages can happen at any time, including during winter storms, heavy snowfall, or downed utility lines.

Portable generators can be a temporary solution for powering appliances, but they emit carbon monoxide (CO), a poisonous gas.

The risk is real:
• Portable generator incidents lead to preventable CO poisonings every year
• The most dangerous setup: generators used too close to the home or in/near garages

Use generators safely:
✅ Outdoors only
✅ 20 feet (7 metres) from doors, windows, vents
✅ Never in an attached garage (even with the door open)
✅ Exhaust directed away from the building

Have a teenager that's "so bored"? Or maybe at this point they are so attached to their phone that they dont even know if it is still snowing outside? Send them outside for a 5 minute cleanup of the nearest fire hydrant. Your neighbors and the fire department will thank you if they need to use the hydrant in this cold weather!

As winter weather sets in, we urge our residents to participate in clearing snow from fire hydrants adjacent to their homes or businesses. We would be grateful if a 2-3 foot perimeter around the hydrant could be cleared to enable prompt access in the event of an emergency.

As we anticipate winter weather this weekend, we kindly remind you to remove snow from your vents and gas meter, which will help prevent CO from accumulating inside your home.

January training was valuable fire training, search and rescue, finding the seat of the fire, radio communications, and firefighter self rescue. This was rare valuable training, to get access to a house and especially in the middle of winter. Thank you, Steve Dircksen, for use of the house!
