Fire Prevention Week 2021

Is there a beep or a chirp coming out of your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm? What does it all mean? Knowing the difference can save you, your home, and your family! Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and knows how to respond. Learn the sounds of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms by checking the user guide or search the brand and model online.

Fire Safety Education

Our Volunteer Firefighters visit schools and events to showcase Fire Safety. They also visit your residence to check your smoke detector to make sure your family is safe.

Please make sure you have a family fire safety plan so everyone knows what to do in the event of a fire.
