If you own a business and have been thinking about upgrading your fire alarm or security system, there has never been a better time than now. The federal government through the Cares act of 2020 has made changes to section 168 which allows you a full tax benefit up to $1,000,000 when you upgrade your alarm system. Previously you had to depreciate the cost over 40 years. This is a great deal.

They say this quarantine brings out the best in the good people and worst in the bad people!
Cudos to Statewide Towing for being one of the good guys.....

Got a call from the state police tonight to go out on 95 and pick this car up. When I got there the drive was sleeping and dead to the world. He looks at me and says it's out of gas, so I put him in the truck and loaded his car on the bed. Once I got in the truck I started to talk to him come to find out he just started a new job just got his first paycheck had it in his hand. Had no money to his name. He got out of work late he lives in berwick maine. was traveling north to yarmouth maine. to cash his check because the credit union he was going to close at 8 pm. He said some how he missed the exit to I-295 went al the way out to Litchfield maine where he ran out of gas. So as I got off the exit he looks at me and say I can give you my check, and as I was thinking this guy is trying and he just having a rough time and what good am I going to if I impound this guys car when hes almost 100 miles away from home. So I pulled up to the gas pump filled his car up made sure it started and unloaded it off the flatbed and told him to have a great night.

We all know carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly gas. However, there are several fallacies about where to install CO detectors. You may have heard they need to be installed close to the ground because CO is heavier than air. This is not true. Actually the molecular weight of CO is very similar to that of oxygen. The attached link by Kidde actually provides some very informative information about carbon monoxide and CO detectors.

Carbon monoxide FAQs - learn about carbon monoxide poisoning symptoms, symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, carbon dioxide poisoning, CO alarms.

Some people are just heartless. If you have an elderly person you're close to, please make sure they don't become a predator to these scams.
