As dispatchers, we witness the impact of mental health struggles firsthand. We recognize that behind every call is a person, a family and a story.

Today is a reminder to check in with yourself and with those around you. Mental health matters every day, and no one should have to struggle alone. Be kind. Be present. Reach out.

Each fall, fire departments respond to countless house fires. Before firing up your furnace or fireplace, take time to have your furnace serviced and your chimney cleaned and inspected.

A little fall maintenance can go a long way in keeping your home and family safe.
