Thanksgiving Fire Safety

 November 17, 2019

As we enter into the Holiday season, please take a minute to make sure you are celebrating safely.
Thanksgiving fire facts
  • Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires, followed by Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, and the day before Thanksgiving.
  • In 2017, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,600 home cooking fires on Thanksgiving, the peak day for such fires.
  • Unattended cooking was by far the leading contributing factor in cooking fires and fire deaths.
  • Cooking equipment was involved in almost half of all reported home fires and home fire injuries, and it is the second leading cause of home fire deaths.
Top 10 safety tips
  • Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stove top so you can keep an eye on the food.
  • Stay in the home when cooking your turkey, and check on it frequently.
  • Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay three feet away.
  • Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.
  • Keep knives out of the reach of children.
  • Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child.
  • Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children — up high in a locked cabinet.
  • Never leave children alone in room with a lit candle.
  • Keep the floor clear so you don’t trip over kids, toys, pocketbooks or bags.
  • Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.

The National Fire Protection Association strongly discourages the use of turkey fryers.

Spring Cleaning for Fire Safety

 May 15, 2019

Believe it or not, spring is here and with it comes an opportunity to make things safer for you and your family. Here are a few fire prevention and safety tips to coincide with the arrival of Spring.

  • Never mix chemicals. Results can be toxic and can cause illness or death.
  • When vacuuming, clean out your smoke alarms. Dust can prevent the from operating properly and can also cause nuisance alarms.
  • Remove dead vegetation and debris from around the outside of your house.
  • Ensure barbecue grills are clean and are used according to manufacturers’ directions.
    • Accumulation of grease can cause flare-ups and fires.
    • Grills should be used away from the house and should never be used inside a garage, porch, or other structure.
    • Check propane hoses for cracks and other damage.
    • Never store propane or lighter fluid indoors
  • When fueling lawnmowers or other power equipment, allow the engine to cool and fuel the equipment well away from the house.
  • Never store gasoline indoors.
  • If you have unused chemicals in your home, dispose of them properly. Click here for information on Monroe County EcoPark.
  • Ensure pools and pool areas are restricted from children and locked.
  • Store pool chemicals out of reach of children.

There are always ways we can make things safer for ourselves, our families, and our neighbors.  Enjoy the weather as it warms up!

Back on June 24th the Ridge Road Fire Dist. responded to the reported smoke in the house. Yesterday ten year old Andrew Trammel received the “Fire and Life Safety Award” from the district for his actions in alerting his family of the fire and making sure their house was evacuated. Andrew was able to come up to the fire house to receive his award and have dessert with the firefighters. Congrats Andrew on a job well done.

This past week Splash Car Wash allowed us and several other town Fire Departments to utilize their existing building on Long Pond Rd that will be torn down tomorrow. We are extremely thankful for the opportunity to have hands-on training on these commercial structures before they are affected by fire. 4 Fire Departments and over 100 firefighters in the town spent the past 7 days working 8-10 hours a day in this building to sharpen their skills.
We are excited to see the new Splash Car Wash when they are finished with construction!

Great training opportunity

Chuckie Chino

I think you should charge 5000-10,000$ for false calls Seriously It will cut down on unnecessary calls
