As our neighborhoods light up with costumes, candy, and creativity, we want to remind everyone to have a safe and spooky night! Whether you're hitting the streets or enjoying trick-or-treat events around the county, a little preparation goes a long way.

Safety Tips for Trick & Truck-or-Treating:
🔦 Carry glow sticks or flashlights to stay visible
🚸 Stick to well-lit areas and watch for traffic
👪 Stay with a group, little goblins should always have an adult!
🍬 Check treats before eating
🚒 If you’re attending a trunk/truck-or-treat event, follow traffic flow and instructions from event staff for everyone’s safety

Drivers:
🚗 Slow down in neighborhoods and parking lots
👀 Stay alert, children can be hard to see and excited to run ahead

From all of us at Warren County Office of Emergency Services, we wish you a fun, safe, and memorable Halloween! 🎃🕷️

Stay safe, stay spooky, and enjoy the treats; not the tricks!

🎃 Happy Halloween from Warren County OES! 👻

We hope everyone has a great time celebrating tonight! Whether you're heading out trick-or-treating or handing out candy, remember to bring a flashlight, watch for others, and stay safe! 🔦

A special thank you to all of our first responders, dispatchers, and emergency services personnel working tonight and helping keep our communities safe.

From all of us at the Warren County Office of Emergency Services, we wish everyone a safe and Happy Halloween!

🍁 Fall Back & Smoke Alarm Safety! 🍁

As Daylight Savings Time ends this weekend, don’t forget to “fall back” and set your clocks back one hour on Sunday, November 1st. ⏰

This seasonal time change is also the perfect reminder to test your smoke detectors and replace any batteries as needed. 🔋🔥
✅ Press the test button on each alarm
✅ Swap batteries if needed
✅ Make sure alarms are installed on every level of your home and inside bedrooms
✅ If your smoke detector is 10+ years old, it may be time to replace it
✅ Talk with your family about fire safety & escape plans

Smoke alarms play a critical role in early fire detection and making sure they’re working only takes a few moments. These small steps help keep you, your family, and your home safe year-round.

Stay safe and have a wonderful fall weekend!

ELEVATED RISK OF FIRE SPREAD TODAY (FRIDAY)
October 30
11 AM – 6 PM

The National Weather Service in Albany is advising of an elevated risk of fire spread Today (Friday, October 30th) as dry vegetation, gusty winds, and low humidity create conditions where fires could spread rapidly.

Northwest winds are expected to gust between 25 and 35 mph, with relative humidity dropping to 35–45% in lower elevations and 40–50% in higher elevations. The greatest concern will be from late morning through mid-afternoon, when winds are expected to be strongest and humidity levels lowest.

A few simple precautions can make a difference:

🔥 Avoid outdoor burning, especially during windy conditions.

🔥 Be mindful when using machinery or equipment that could produce sparks.

🔥 Properly extinguish ci******es and never discard them on the ground.

🔥 Use caution with matches, campfires, and other potential ignition sources.

While these conditions may not seem unusual for a fall day, dry leaves and other vegetation can ignite easily, and gusty winds can cause a small fire to spread quickly.

Please use extra caution throughout the day.

Be Ready. Be Prepared. Be Safe.

National First Responders Day | October 28

There are people in our communities who, when someone else is having their worst day, answer the call without hesitation.

They leave their families, step away from their own lives, and walk into situations most people hope they will never have to face. They show up in the middle of the night, in the worst weather, and in moments filled with uncertainty. Not for recognition or praise, but because someone needs them.

Behind every uniform is a person. Someone with a family waiting at home, their own struggles, and memories of calls that may stay with them long after the emergency is over.

They don't always get to see the difference they've made. They don't always know what happened to the people they helped. And sometimes, despite giving everything they have, the outcome isn't what anyone hoped for.

But they keep showing up. And that matters more than words can ever express.

Today is about the people behind the calls. The ones who answer, the ones who respond, and the ones who stand beside each other through some of life's most difficult moments. It's about recognizing the commitment it takes to be there for others, often at a moment's notice, and the sacrifices that come with it.

To those who serve, whether as a career or as a volunteer, know that your commitment, compassion, and sacrifices do not go unnoticed.

You may never fully know the impact you've had on someone's life, but somewhere, someone is grateful that you were there when they needed you most.

From all of us at the Warren County Office of Emergency Services, thank you for answering the call, for looking out for one another, and for continuing to show up, even when it's hard. We are fortunate to serve alongside each and every one of you, and proud to be part of the same team.

Happy National First Responders Day!

We are fortunate to work alongside some great agencies and neighboring partners who are always willing to come together, share their knowledge, and support one another. From emergency management, emergency services, and law enforcement to healthcare and public health, we have some great people working throughout our region.

This week’s regional CHEMPACK deployment exercise was a great opportunity to bring those partners together and practice coordinating resources and medications during a large-scale chemical emergency. Exercises like this give us a chance to test our plans, learn from one another, and strengthen the relationships we rely on when emergencies happen.

A big thank you to our partners in Washington County, Glens Falls Hospital, Warren County Sheriff's Office, and everyone who helped put this exercise together and make it possible!

Fire Prevention Friday!

October is Fire Prevention Month, and this year Fire Prevention Week is October 4–10.

But why October? And where did Fire Prevention Week actually come from?

It starts all the way back in 1871.

On October 8, the Great Chicago Fire began. Over the next two days, the fire tore through the city, killing approximately 300 people, leaving around 100,000 people homeless and destroying more than 17,000 structures.

And while Chicago became the fire most remembered, it wasn't the only devastating fire burning that week.

On the same day, the Peshtigo Fire swept through parts of Wisconsin. It destroyed entire communities and killed an estimated 1,500 to 2,500 people, making it one of the deadliest fires in American history.

Those fires, and the tremendous loss that came with them, eventually helped change the way we talked about fire.

Not just how we respond to it, but how we prevent it.

Nearly 50 years later, in 1920, President Woodrow Wilson issued the first National Fire Prevention Day proclamation.

In 1922, the National Fire Protection Association began officially sponsoring Fire Prevention Week.

Then, in 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed the first nationally recognized Fire Prevention Week, beginning a tradition that has continued for more than a century.

Fire Prevention Week is still observed during the Sunday-through-Saturday period containing October 9, tying it directly back to the Great Chicago Fire.

And while the history behind the week hasn't changed, the hazards around us certainly have.

That brings us to the 2026 Fire Prevention Week theme:

⚡ “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging is a Superpower™”

Think about how many rechargeable devices are around you right now.

Phones. Laptops. Tablets. Watches. Power tools. Toys. E-bikes. Scooters. Portable chargers.

Lithium-ion batteries have become part of everyday life. Most of us use them every single day without giving them much thought. But how we use, charge and store them matters.

And really, that's the story of Fire Prevention Week.

The hazards change. The technology changes. The way we live changes.

But prevention still starts with us.

For more than 100 years, we've looked back at the fires of 1871 as a reminder of what can happen.

The most important thing we can do with that history is learn from it.

Know the risk.
Make the change.
Have the conversation.
Prevent the fire.

Because fire prevention isn't just something we recognize for one week in October.

It's the small things we do today that can make sure there isn't a tragedy to remember tomorrow.

These past couple of days, the Warren County Office of Emergency Services has been out talking preparedness, safety, and the importance of planning ahead.

Yesterday, our office joined Southern Adirondack Independent Living - SAIL at the Queensbury Senior Center (Queensbury Senior Citizens), where we welcomed nearly 50 people for a conversation about emergency preparedness. One of the biggest messages was simple: preparedness is personal.

There isn’t one emergency plan or go-bag that works for everyone. Being prepared means thinking about what you would need if an emergency happened. That could include medications and medical needs, mobility or accessibility needs, food choices, pets, caregivers, communication needs, transportation, and the people you may rely on for support.

We’re grateful for our continued partnership with SAIL and the opportunity to have these important conversations.

Today, our staff headed north for the Warren/Hamilton Counties Office for the Aging Senior Fall Festival, joining many partners providing information on health, safety, services, and resources. It was another great opportunity to talk one-on-one with residents, answer questions, and share some simple ways to be better prepared.

Emergency preparedness doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it starts with a conversation, thinking through your individual needs, and making a plan before you need it.

We’re always happy to get out, meet people where they are, answer questions, and make preparedness a little easier to understand and put into practice.

Be Prepared. Be Ready. Be Safe.

🍂 Happy First Day of Fall!

Astrological Fall that is!

As the seasons change, it’s a good reminder that September is National Preparedness Month. A little preparation now can make a big difference when an emergency happens.

Take a few minutes this fall to check your emergency supplies, make sure your home and vehicle are ready for changing weather, sign up for emergency alerts, and think ahead for the colder months.

Preparedness doesn’t have to be complicated. Start small, take one step at a time, and make being ready apart of your routine.

Rocky says it best: Be Ready. Be Prepared. Be Safe! 🦝🍁

Its Rocky Ready Season!
