While you’re out trick-or-treating tonight, don’t forget to stop by the fire station. We would love to see your costumes and add to your candy collection.
As cooler temperatures arrive, the time of year for the use of fireplaces and wood heat brings some unique calls for your Holts Summit Fire fighters.
In preparation for the colder months, fire fighters are refreshing on techniques for extinguishing flue fires. This involves dropping "flue bombs" (bags of extinguishing agent) down a flue, cleaning fire boxes, ventillating homes, and deploying covers to protect the contents of a home from damage.
The Holts Summit Fire Protection District highly recommends seeking out services to have your fireplaces and wood heaters inspected and cleaned of flammable debris prior to first use of the year. This will lessen risks of flue fires.
Remember, smoke detectors and exit plans save lives! Change the batteries in your detectors, replace detectors that are beyond their expiration date (10 years from manufacture date) and practice exit strategies with those in your homes.
