🍂🔥 Fall Fires: Keep Them Safe and Under Control

Whether you’re cleaning up brush or enjoying an evening around the fire pit, TCFD reminds everyone that dry leaves, grass, and changing winds can turn a small outdoor fire into a big problem.

Before you light the fire...

✅ Know before you burn. Check Muskego’s burning rules and any current restrictions. Brush burning and recreational fires have requirements—don’t assume everything is allowed just because it’s on your property.

🌬️ Watch the weather. Skip burning during dry or windy conditions. If the wind picks up, put the fire out.

🍂 Clear the area. Keep fires away from buildings, fences, overhanging branches, and dry vegetation. Keep your fire small and manageable.

💧 Have water ready. Keep a working garden hose and a shovel nearby before lighting the fire.

👀 Stay with it. A responsible adult should supervise the fire until it is completely extinguished and cold. Keep children and pets safely back.

🚫 Watch what you burn. Never burn garbage, plastics, or painted or treated wood. Never use gasoline to start or feed a fire.

💦 Put it out completely. Soak with water, stir the ashes, and repeat until cold. No flames does NOT mean no heat!

📞 If the fire spreads beyond your control, move to safety and call 911 immediately.

Let’s keep the warmth around the fire pit—and the fire trucks at the station.

Enjoy fall safely!

🍂🌊 Fall Boating: Cooler Water, Greater Risk

TCFD responded to two separate water rescue incidents over the past week. Thankfully, both were minor, but they serve as a reminder that a small problem on the water can become a serious emergency quickly.

With changing weather, colder water, and fewer people out on the lakes, help may not be nearby when something goes wrong.

Before heading out this fall:

🦺 Wear your life jacket—don’t just keep it on board.
📱 Keep a charged phone in a waterproof case within reach.
📍 Tell someone where you’re going and when you expect to return.
🌬️ Check the forecast and watch for changing wind and weather.
🚤 Make sure your boat and safety equipment are ready before leaving shore.

As much as we enjoy taking our boat out on the lake, we’d prefer it wasn’t to come rescue you! Help us keep those trips to training and enjoying our waterways.

Be safe on the waterways this fall!

🚒 **There’s Only One Way to Find Out**

Courtney is one of our newer members and will be starting an aerial operations class next week.

While training with her on the operation of Truck 14, we raised the 75-foot aerial to its maximum angle. Courtney looked up and asked, “Can I climb it?”

So, after getting her into the proper safety equipment, up she went—all the way to the top.

It takes plenty of training to become comfortable operating and working from an aerial apparatus, but Courtney certainly isn’t lacking enthusiasm or a willingness to learn.

Good luck in class, Courtney! We’re excited to watch you continue growing with TCFD.

🔥 Before the Cold Weather Settles In…

Furnaces are turning on, fireplaces are being used again and space heaters are coming out of storage. Taking a few minutes now can help prevent an emergency later.

Before heating season gets into full swing:

▪️ Have furnaces, fireplaces and chimneys inspected
▪️ Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from heating equipment
▪️ Test your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms
▪️ Never leave space heaters unattended or running while you sleep
▪️ Make sure everyone in your home knows two ways out

A little preparation now can make a big difference when the temperatures drop.

Stay warm and stay safe, Muskego!
