We were paged at 11:02 pm Saturday night to a residence on Antique court for a microwave on fire. Upon arrival, the initial on-scene report stated that the residence was full of smoke and the cabinet top was smoldering, The fire was extinguished with a water extinguisher and a positive pressure fan was utilized to clear the residence of smoke. Cleared scene at 1:30 am

CHECK YOUR SMOKE DETECTORS!

Our recommendation is that you have at minimum of 2 detectors in your residence, don't rely on 1 detector to protect you and your family.

SMOKE IS the SILENT KILLER!

Early detection saves lives and property.

So you're probably wondering why we used the color orange for this hydrant. The National Fire Protection Association has guidelines for hydrant colors based on gallons per minute. So you'll be seeing red, orange, green and blue hydrants through the district. If you would like to help out the fire department, take a couple of minutes, w**d eat or mow around the hydrants.
Thanks

We will be flushing and painting hydrants over the next few weeks, please slow down and give us extra space when you see us on the side of the road. Our goal is to protect the community, please do your part to make our work area safe
Thanks

Something we don’t do everyday…
Today we received a call to rescue a kitten out of a tree. It turned out there were four kittens less than two weeks old stuck in the middle of a hollow tree about 6 feet down the middle of a fork in the tree. We rescued 3 but the fourth one was in a hole were we could hear him but not see him. We cut a wedge shape out of the tree to finally reach the last one. All four kittens are now happily resting with momma kitty.
