Today is the day. Santa is here. He will be starting his journey around district 2 at 9am. Below is his route with approximate times. Be aware these times are subject to change. Our firefighters still need to keep the residents and the visitors of district 2 safe. We try to make sure the big guy gets to every inch of Fire District 2. We do unfortunately have to bypass certain streets due to space limitations with all the apparatus.
Don't forget to use the Santa Tracker Link to see live locations of Santa.

Cooking is often a relaxing and fun task that brings family and friends together, but cooking is also the number one cause of home fires and home injuries. Being mindful while you cook, however, can go a long way to helping prevent these fires. Here is everything you need to know about cooking safely!
Cooking Fire Safety- Facts
Unattended cooking is the leading factor in home cooking fires.
Ranges accounted for the largest share of home cooking fire incidents.
Frying poses the greatest risk of fire.
Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires.
Two-thirds of home cooking fires started when food or other cooking materials caught fire.
Cooking and Fire Safety- Tips
Be on alert! If you are sleepy or have consumed alcohol don’t use the stove or stovetop.
Stay in the kitchen while you are frying, grilling, boiling or broiling food.
If you are simmering, baking or roasting food, check it regularly, remain in the kitchen while food is cooking, and use a timer to remind you that you are cooking.
Keep anything that can catch fire — oven mitts, wooden utensils, food packaging, towels or curtains — away from your stovetop.

Be advised this evening from about 6pm on, there will be training evolutions being performed on vacant structures on Route 520 across from TD Bank and adjacent to Kenduck drive (entrance to Marlboro Plaza). Traffic will not be affected, just be aware of the emergency vehicles that will be in the area.
Although the popularity of carbon monoxide (CO) alarms has been growing in recent years, it cannot be assumed that everyone is familiar with the hazards of carbon monoxide poisoning in the home.
Often called the invisible killer, carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas created when fuels (such as gasoline, wood, coal, natural gas, propane, oil, and methane) burn incompletely. In the home, heating and cooking equipment that burn fuel are potential sources of carbon monoxide. Vehicles or generators running in an attached garage can also produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide Facts and Stats
The dangers of CO exposure depend on a number of variables, including the victim’s health and activity level. Infants, pregnant women, and people with physical conditions that limit their body’s ability to use oxygen (i.e. emphysema, asthma, heart disease) can be more severely affected by lower concentrations of CO than healthy adults would be.
A person can be poisoned by a small amount of CO over a longer period of time or by a large amount of CO over a shorter amount of time.
In 2010, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 80,100 non-fire CO incidents in which carbon monoxide was found, or an average of nine such calls per hour. The number of incidents increased 96 % from 40,900 incidents reported in 2003. This increase is most likely due to the increased use of CO detectors, which alert people to the presence of CO.
Because CO is odorless, colorless, and otherwise undetectable to the human senses, people may not know that they are being exposed. The initial symptoms of low to moderate CO poisoning are similar to the flu (but without the fever). They include:
Headache
Fatigue
Shortness of breath
Nausea
Dizziness

We NEED you!!
Be Part of Your Community!
The Fire service is a unique and complex business. In addition to being local heroes, today’s firefighters also serve as our nation’s first responders. First responders need to be well equipped and are tasked to be highly trained and capable of responding to all types of emergencies.
We need volunteers with all kinds of knowledge, skills, and abilities. Besides the men and women who respond to emergencies, other types of volunteers are also needed. Fire departments need the services of individuals with experience in business, accounting, law enforcement, mechanics, construction, computers, event planning, and fundraising
