Attention residents! Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 2 AM. Each time you change your clocks, it’s a good reminder to check the batteries in your smoke alarm to ensure proper function. Remember, only working smoke detectors save lives!

10/09/2026

Charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail.

10/08/2026

Unplug your device when it is fully charged. Leaving it plugged in longer than needed can increase heat and stress on the battery.

10/07/2026

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

10/06/2026

Charge electronics 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.

A recent fire in Hamilton Township serves as an important reminder about the dangers of improperly disposed fireplace ashes. In January 2026, a fire occurred in Hamilton Township that was caused by ashes from a fireplace that had been cleaned out and not placed in an appropriate container.

To help prevent another incident, the Hamilton Township Fire Division – Fire Prevention Bureau, in conjunction with the Nottingham Volunteer Fire Company, has purchased ash bucket safety kits for Hamilton Township residents.

Starting on September 28th, residents will be able to pick up a FREE ash bucket kit, while supplies last, from the hours of 9AM to 3PM at 200 Mercer Street. Don't miss out!
