Charge on a hard, flat surface like a table, desk, or floor. Beds,
couches, and pillows can trap heat and block airflow, which can
cause a battery to overheat. For more info: fpw.org.

Stop

Use the cord and charger that came with your device or ones
approved by the manufacturer. Using the wrong charger can
damage the battery and increase the risk of fire. For more info:

Keep your kitchen a especially when cooking. Accidents can happen fast with young children.

Please ensure you have working and in date smoke alarms in your RV, Trailer, or Mobile Home.

Today we acknowledge the truth of the past in commitment to move forward through reconciliation.

Congratulations to Full Time Firefighters Andre Benoit on completing his NFPA Incident Safety Officer certification and Rich Barritt on completing his NFPA Fire Officer 1 certification! 👏

Thank you both for your dedication to continued learning and serving our community. Well done!

Not all smoke alarms "look old" when they need to be changed...This one is almost 20 years old. Take the time to actually look at their date stamp on the back and ensure they are less than 10 years old.

Dryers can accumulate lint over time, including your outside exhaust vent. Give the dryer a good vacuum and make sure your outside vent isn't clogged with lint.
