Fire Safety Tips
Carbon Monoxide
There is an increased awareness about the dangers of (CO) Carbon Monoxide. Remember, CO is an odorless, silent killer. The symptoms include sudden flu like symptoms by all members of the household. Every home should include a CO detector, even if you have your furnace inspected annually. If you think you have a CO problem, dial 911.
Sometimes residents hesitate to call the fire department if they have a small fire or a problem that the fire department can assist with. THERE IS NO CHARGE for any fire department service. Don’t let embarrassment delay a call that could mean the difference between a minor or major problem.
Camp Fires
You are permitted to have “respectful” campfires without a permit. Only burn clean, dry firewood. The open burning ordinance prohibits the burning of construction materials, lawn debris, and/or vegetation. Be considerate of your neighbors and pay attention to wind direction when having a campfire. Campfires must be attended at all times or fully extinguished. Full open burning ordinance language is located here.
Grilling
Charcoal and gas grills should not be used on wooden or composite decks. Always maintain a safe distance from combustible materials while cooking to avoid fire hazards, even after the food is cooked and the dishes are put away. Remember, embers from charcoal grills can stay hot for hours or even days.
Planning for Emergencies
Now is the time to plan escape routes and discuss meeting places in the event of an emergency.
KFD Activities
