Working Smoke Alarms

Saves Lives !

 

Each year in the United States about 3,000 people die in home fires.

 

Most of these deaths occurred in homes that didn't have a working smoke alarm.

 

Install, Inspect & Protect

 

All homes should have

at least one.

 

Get yourself one !

 

Your life

may depend on it.

Cancer Awareness

 

for Firefighter's

 

Here are a few new web sites to help you better understand Mesothelioma.

 

Firefighters are at risk of asbestos exposure because of its frequent use in older structures and its ability to linger in the air even after a fire has been extinguished.

 

As Firefighters, we could at any time be exposed to airborne particles in the air that could someday cause you cancer. Please visit the links below to learn more.
