  • “CHANGE YOUR CLOCK - CHANGE YOUR SMOKE DETECTOR BATTERY”

    SMOKE ALARM BATTERIES NEED TO BE CHANGED ONCE A YEAR!  WHEN YOU CHANGE YOUR CLOCK AHEAD TO DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME ON MARCH 11, 2012 REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE BATTERIES IN YOUR SMOKE ALARMS TOO. ONCE YOU HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES, BE SURE TO TEST THE ALARM TO MAKE SURE IT WORKS.

     

    THIS SIMPLE ACT CUTS THE RISK OF DYING IN A HOME FIRE NEARLY IN HALF.  YOU CAN HELP TO PREVENT NEEDLESS FIRE DEATHS AND INJURIES BY CHANGING THE BATTERIES IN ALL OF YOUR SMOKE ALARMS BEFORE YOU GO TO BED ON SATURDAY NIGHT.  PROPERLY INSTALLED SMOKE DETECTORS WITH FRESH BATTERIES GIVE YOU PLENTY OF TIME TO ESCAPE WHEN FIRE STRIKES.  
     
    DO NOT WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE, EVERY SECOND COUNTS WHEN THERE IS A FIRE!

     

    REMEMBER TO CHANGE YOUR CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR BATTERIES TOO!

  • WINTER FIRE SAFETY TIPS FOR THE HOME

    The high cost of home heating fuels and utilities have caused many Americans to search for alternate sources of home  heating. The use of wood burning stoves is growing and space heaters are selling rapidly, or coming out of storage. Fireplaces are burning wood and man made logs.

    All these methods of heating may be acceptable. They are however, a major contributing factor in residential fires. Many of these fires can be prevented. Click on the following link for fire safety tips that can help you maintain a fire safe home this winter.  Winter Fires - Safety Tips For Your Home
