Focus on Fire Safety: Preparedness
September 2010 marks the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) 7th annual National Preparedness Month. This year's focus is on making sure that your family plans and prepares for disasters.
In most types of disaster-related emergencies, the risk of fire is increased due to loose electrical wires, flooding, broken gas lines, or the lack of electricity. When preparing for the possibility of fire in your home, it is important to ensure you establish and practice an emergency escape plan and install and maintain smoke alarms and residential fire sprinklers. If young children, older adults, or those with special needs live in your home, plan and practice an appropriate fire escape plan.
Be fire wise ... prepare, plan and stay informed!

A national Public Service Announcement (PSA) urging motorists to “slow down and move over” premiered yesterday at the Delaware City (DE) Fire Company. The PSA is a joint venture between the Delaware City Fire Company and the Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen’s Association (CVVFA) to educate the public about dangers associated with passing responders working on the roadways.
Fire-Rescue does NOT conduct any solicitation by phone!
Please report any occurrences to the Chief's office here.
