Happy Halloween! When lighting your Jack O'Lantern this year, try flameless alternatives like glow sticks (eerie), battery-powered tea lights (some models even flicker like the real thing), or battery-powered fairy lights (for a neo-bohemian look). Big fires start small, especially under the current weather conditions: don't let a candle fire ruin your Halloween festivities!

Thanks to everyone in our community who came out last night and visited with our firefighters at trunk or treat. Please remember Halloween safety when heading out to trick or treat this weekend.

Stop by our trailer and set up at Trunk or Treat tonight at Memorial Park. There's nothing scary about volunteer fire fighters and having a safe Halloween event. The event runs from 5-7 p.m. See you there.

Celebrating our team and teammates in Swansea and across the country. Always on call, always helping others. Thank you for everything you do for others.

This coming weekend we will end daylight saving time. As part of this semi-annual adjustment to clocks, be sure to replace batteries on smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and test your devices. Many newer units have a ten-year service life. If you haven't converted or changed to a newer device, please consider making the switch.

When you change your clocks next weekend, don't forget to check your alarms! Smoke and alarms have the manufacturing date printed on the back. Replace smoke alarms after 10 years and CO alarms after 5, 7, or 10 years depending on the model. If your alarms use alkaline batteries, put fresh ones in to protect yourself and your loved ones all winter long!

As we get ready for Halloween activities in town in the upcoming week, it is important we all pay close attention to the hazards and potential safety concerns from using candles in your home or displays. Consider using small battery-powered lights and candles for your spooky or fun displays.

From decorating with jack-o-lanterns to costume parties and trick-or-treating, many hallmarks of present fire hazards. Nearly half (47 percent) of U.S. home fires occurred because decorations were too close to a heat source; approximately one-third (33 percent) started with candles.

At approximately 4:30 p.m., Swansea Fire Department crews from Rescue 1 and Engine 4 responded to a report of a vehicle into a residence on GAR Highway.

Upon arrival, crews encountered a pickup truck that had struck the porch and foundation of a home. Firefighters from R1 and E4 immediately went to work conducting technical stabilization, assembling cribbing and vertical shoring to support the compromised porch roof to provide structural integrity.

In recent days, many people have started to use their home heating systems. This is generally the first time the sytem has been called on to produce heat. It is also a reason why this time of year can be the highest volume of heating system fires and other dangerous conditions. Don't forget to check and test your carbon monoxide detectors too!

The nights are getting chillier, and home heating fires tend to rise right around this time of year. Having your heating system professionally checked each year can identify issues before they become emergencies -- and it can help save money, too. Now is a great time to schedule a check-up!
