If you have a generator, be sure you have a working Carbon Monoxide Detector. CO is a colorless, odorless, poison gas. A CO detector is needed even if your generator is outside the house. We have responded to a number of CO calls since last Thursday. In each case the generator was running outside. But, the wind was blowing the CO inside the home. If your CO detector starts alarming, get out of the house and call 911. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, upset stomach, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. If you have a running generator and anyone experiences any of these symptoms, get out of the house and call 911.

As temperatures drop, many of us turn to space heaters for that extra warmth. While they can be cozy, it's important to be aware of the potential dangers. Tips for Safe Space Heater Use: Keep anything that can burn at least three feet away from the heater. Avoid using extension cords, and never overload circuits. When leaving the room or going to bed, turn off the space heater. Inspect space heaters for any damage, and if something seems off, don't use it. Stay Toasty but Stay Safe!

The following photos are from one of our fire department training nights.

The exercise was a two vehicle collision with 3 patients; 2 adults and 1 child.

We practiced establishing command, radio usage, driver training, scene size up, protective gear use, triage, patient access, patient assessment, c-spine immobilization, airway management, bleeding control, use of extrication tools, patient moving, scene lighting and patient transport.

Everyone was involved in some way including our junior members. Excellent training we hope we never have to use but ready when called upon.
