County Firefighters deliver an early Christmas to a family who lost everything in a fire this weekend. They honored the family friend who went back in through the smoke to save 3 children (3,4,6yrs old). #Station16 #Station19 #Station18 #GivingBack #PBCFR

Although Fire Prevention Week (10/6-10/12) is over, the message is timeless. Smoke Alarms: Make them work for you. Do yours work? PUSH & HOLD the TEST BUTTON in for several seconds. Replace them if they don't work or if they're > 10 years. Watch what to do if your alarms sound.

Clean-up underway for residents across PBC. In Wellington, our USAR (Urban Search and Rescue Team) helps a church family on Deer Run Lane look for personal items after their wood frame home is completely destroyed. The Village and PBCFR MIH connected them with resources.

Wow! Over 525 degrees F🌡️! Watch how FAST gasoline vapors ignite when it spills onto a HOT generator engine. Avoid burn injuries. Always REFUEL your #GENERATOR when it’s COOL. Avoid CO ☠️ poisoning and 🔥 fire. Use generators on paved surfaces 20ft away from homes & open flames.
