A message from your Fort Drum PW & Fire Department. Freezing temps can damage sprinkler pipes, which can cause them to not work as needed when needed.

Happy Holidays Fort Drum Community!!

The Fort Drum Fire Prevention Branch is asking for volunteers on behalf of Fort Durms Child Care program. Family Child Care (FCC) homes are a vital resource of childcare for Fort Drum soldiers and families. These facilities provide further, more personal childcare for those families who are need of it here on Fort Drum and who may be waiting to get into the already busy and full Child Day Care Centers. Many of these providers are doing this out of their love for children and support for their community.

With all this said there are quite a few who will be providing these services while their spouse is deployed or away on training and as many of you know, but some of you might only have heard, the holidays can also bring some treacherous weather! So, we are asking for volunteers who we will help clear their primary and secondary egress paths and exits in the event of snow fall. If you are one of those community members who are interested in supporting those who support us, please see the directions below and register!

Register at https://projectevergreen.org/volunteer-with-project-evergreen/

Fill out the appropriate information and PLEASE make sure you carefully select the distance you can travel, especially in inclement weather, when you most likely will be needed. Also be honest with how many FCCs you’d like to assist!

You can also reach Mrs. Ki Laraine Matsko at Project Evergreen @ 440-290-4522 or the FCC program director Mrs. Jordan Brown @ 315-772-2250

The Fort Drum Fire Prevention Branch greatly appreciates all your help this Winter!
