Change the batteries in your smoke detector twice a year, when you change your clocks for daylight savings time.
Some Future Projects:
**Raising money to provide a Cairns IRIS (Thermal Imaging System) for each first run pumper at our 3 stations. These infrared imaging systems cost in excess of $25,000.00 ea. They would be available for mutual aid to any county station.
**A "Fill The Boot" campaign for the Muscular Distrophy Association, "Jerry's Kids", is tentatively scheduled for the week before Labor Day,1999.
Currently:
We are working with "Lowe's Home Improvement" in Sanford on a Local Hero's Program. This project is Firefighters and Lowe's Employee's working together installing smoke detectors. Lowe's has graciously contributed another $1,000.00 to the program. We participated in "Safety Saturday" by manning a table inside the store. We gave out smoke detector safety brochures and collected names of people who were in need of a detector or battery replacement. On Saturday July 3, 1999 we went out with Lowe's employees to install detectors.(Click to see Pictures)
