Outdoor Fire Safety

We cannot overstate the importance of fire safety in our wooded areas during the dry summer season. A single spark can lead to devastating fires, threatening homes, wildlife, and natural resources. It is crucial for our community to adhere to fire safety guidelines: Properly extinguish campfires, avoid the use of fireworks, and report any signs of fire immediately.

LSL Inventory Door Notice

As part of the Dalton Water Department’s “Lead Service Line Inventory Project,” a notice has been placed on the doors of selected homes in town. This is legitimate. Our engineering firm, Tighe & Bond has been contracted to work on this report. Any cooperation with this project would be greatly appreciated.

Ensuring fire safety in your home is crucial for protecting your loved ones and property. One of the simplest and most effective measures is installing smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors on every level of your home. These devices can provide early warnings, giving you and your family precious time to escape in the event of a fire or CO leak. Remember to test your detectors monthly and replace batteries as the manufacturer recommends. Additionally, consider replacing smoke detectors every ten years and CO detectors every five to seven years to ensure they remain effective.

For more detailed information and guidelines on fire safety and the proper installation and maintenance of smoke and CO detectors, visit the Massachusetts government website at Mass.gov Fire Safety. Here, you’ll find resources and tips to help keep your home safe and secure. Taking these simple steps can make a significant difference in preventing tragedies and ensuring the well-being of everyone in your household. Stay informed, stay prepared, and prioritize fire safety in your home.
