🔥 Ranger Says: What Does a Burn Ban Mean? 🔥

When a burn ban is in effect, it means no outdoor burning of any kind—including fires in campfire rings.

Even small, contained fires can quickly get out of control under these conditions.

👍 Thanks to everyone taking the time to check and help keep our community safe.

On 3/4/26 Fayette Fire along with Lakes Region Mutual Aide group and Livermore Falls Fire responded to a chimney fire. On arrival it was determined the chimney was completely blocked and there was a fire in the basement. Since the weather is going to be warmer next week please take the time to check your chimney and stove pipes for creosote build up. This will be a great time to cutdown on the chance of having one yourself. Thanks.

❄️🥶🚨🚨Hazardous Weather🚨🚨🥶❄️

Due to extreme colds and elevated winds, the temperatures today and this weekend can be dangerous. Just a few short minutes exposed outside can allow for frostbite to form. Longer term exposure can lead to hypothermia. It’s important to minimize exposure and plan ahead.

It’s a great weekend to stay indoors and stay warm! If you do need to go out, dress and plan accordingly.

If you’re driving, it’s always a great idea to bring all the same outdoor clothing with you as if you planned to work outdoors. If something should happen to your vehicle (dead battery, go off the road, etc) you have warm clothing, possibly a blanket and hand warmers, in your vehicle.

With high winds there’s always the potential to lose power. It’s ideal to have a safe backup plan for heating your home, or restoring your power.

Remember, it’s weather like this we’re thankful for - it keeps the alligators south! Stay warm and safe this weekend.

Ps. Don't forget about your pets!

⚠️ Generator Safety Reminder ⚠️

With winter storms and possible power outages, many people turn to portable generators—but remember, generator exhaust contains deadly carbon monoxide (CO). Keep your family safe with these quick tips:

🔹 Always run generators outside in a well-ventilated area, at least 20 feet away from doors, windows, and vents.
🔹 Never use a generator in a garage, breezeway, porch, or near any opening into your home.
🔹 Point the exhaust away from the house.
🔹 Install and maintain working CO alarms inside your home.
🔹 Turn the generator off and let it cool before refueling.
🔹 Store gasoline safely in approved containers and away from living areas.

📌 Important: If you can smell exhaust—you’re inhaling it. CO has no odor and can be fatal.

Stay safe, Livermore Falls. If you’re unsure about safe generator setup, consult a qualified electrician.
