The primary tool of the engine company is WATER! Recently, we spent the evening testing new nozzles that will help us get "the wet stuff on the red stuff" more efficiently.

Some smoke alarms have permanent batteries, others require new ones every so often. When you're changing your clocks this weekend, check your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to assure they are in working order. If they are over 10 years old, please replace them. Also, you probably should change the batteries in your flashlights and portable AM/FM radio. No flashlight or portable AM/FM radio? Well, preparedness is a great Christmas gift!
Elfinwild Families had a chance to relax, enjoy good camaraderie, share snacks and watch a great family movie together Saturday night! Special thanks to Beth Kalchthaler and Kathy Fadgen for organizing as well as the AV expertise of Dan Kalchthaler.
