⏰ CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS, CHANGE YOUR BATTERIES! 🔋🚒

As we prepare to turn our clocks back, don't forget to take a few extra minutes to check your smoke alarms!

🔥 A few important reminders:
- Change the batteries in your smoke alarms (unless they have sealed 10-year batteries).
- Test your smoke alarms to make sure they're working properly.
- Replace smoke alarms that are 10 years old or older. Smoke alarms should generally be replaced every 10 years, or sooner if recommended by the manufacturer.
- Make sure you have working smoke alarms on every level of your home and inside and outside sleeping areas.

A working smoke alarm can give you and your family the precious seconds needed to escape a house fire.

❤️ We want you to stay safe, not become one of our calls!

Change Your Clocks. Change Your Batteries. Check Your Smoke Alarms.

🚒 Stay safe, Fluvanna County!

From decorating with jack-o-lanterns to costume parties and trick-or-treating, many hallmarks of present fire hazards.

Nearly half (47%) of U.S. home fires occurred because decorations were too close to a heat source; approximately one-third (33%) started with candles.

🚒 19 Members + Duty Crew = The Perfect Opportunity for Ladder Training! 🪜

When you have 19 members at duty crew, you take advantage of the opportunity to get some hands-on training in! 💪

Captain Powell and Lieutenants Powell and Wills worked with our members on the proper use of different types of ladders, including how to safely throw, position, and climb each one.

Training like this helps our members build confidence, sharpen their skills, and stay ready to serve our community when the call comes in! 🔥

A big thank you to our officers for taking the time to train and mentor our members!

Train together. Learn together. Serve together. 🚒❤️
