Over the past few days, GVFD has been very busy running fire calls. We want to remind everyone of the importance of safety during these cold temperatures and things everyone should remember about heating sources for your house.
Space Heater Reminders:
• Keep anything that can burn, such as bedding, clothing and curtains, at least 3 feet away from the heater.
• Make sure the heater has an automatic shut-off, so if it tips over, it shuts off.
• Turn heaters off when you go to bed or leave the room.
• Plug portable heaters directly into outlets and never into an extension cord or power strip.
• Only use portable heaters from a recognized testing laboratory.
Fireplace Reminders:
• Keep a glass or metal screen in front of the fireplace to prevent embers or sparks jumping out.
• Do not burn paper in your fireplace.
• Put the fire out before you go to sleep or leave your home.
• Put ashes in a metal container with a lid, outside, at least 3 feet from your home.
Wood Stove Reminders:
• Make sure your wood stove is 3 feet from anything that can burn.
• Do not burn paper in your wood stove. Put the fire out before you go to sleep or leave your home.
• Have your chimney inspected and cleaned each year by a professional.
Furnace Reminders:
• Have your furnace inspected each year.
• Keep anything that can burn away from the furnace.
Kerosene Heater Reminders:
• Only use kerosene heaters from a recognized testing laboratory.
• Make sure the heater has an automatic shut-off, so if it tips over, it shuts off.
During colder weather, people tend to use fuel-burning appliances more often. Carbon monoxide is called the "invisible killer," as it is an odorless and colorless gas produced by the incomplete combustion of any fossil fuel; wood, oil, gas or coal. The USFA recommends following these tips:
• Install and maintain CO alarms inside your home to provide early warning of CO.
• Install CO alarms in a central location outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of your home.
• Use portable generators outdoors in well-ventilated areas away from all doors, windows and vents.
• Make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and fireplace are clear of snow and other debris.
• Remove vehicles from the garage immediately after starting
Lastly, please check your smoke alarms! They CAN and WILL save your life! Make sure you have working smoke detectors in your house!
Thanks
Happy New Year from Grottoes Volunteer Fire Department! We hope 2018 brings a year of joy and happiness to you all!
Merry Christmas from Grottoes Volunteer Fire Department.
Merry Christmas TO ALL OF YOU

If the tree lighting is directly after the parade, does that mean the fire dept wont be having santa at the fire station following the parade? Or is that still happening?
Read the post again Santa will be at the town hall after the parade not at the fire station
