With the forecasted winter storm approaching this weekend, please be mindful of how you heat your home if you lose power. Be sure to use properly rated extension cords, generators are well vented outside, no clothing or debris around portable heaters, CO and smoke alarms have fresh batteries. All of our fire trucks will be chained, but with the potential for deep snow it is not a guarantee that we can reach you. Be safe and prepare accordingly.
