Cooler Weather is upon us with that brings fire stoves and places being used , space heaters being turned on so nows is the time to ensure everything is clean and functioning properly. Taking this safety measures can prevent fires and anyone from being hurt.

Inspect you chimneys and stoves or fireplaces before using them. Make sure the flue operates correctly opening and closing.

Many people like to enjoy outside fire pits, campfires and bonfires we ask that you exercise caution when doing such to ensure unwanted fires don’t spread amongst brush and dried leaves. Dispose of hot ashes in a proper metal can with a lid and water around the area of the recreational fire.

See something unsafe or harmful don’t hesitate to call 911. Unsure of regulations there are several options call your local fire department, Maryland DNR website and Maryland State Fire Marshals Office list state regulations for most recreational fires and outdoor burning. Always check you local or city regulations as well.

IT’S OFFICIALLY HARVEST SEASON FOR MUCH OF OUR COMMUNITY AND NEIGHBORING COMMUNITIES

We are blessed with the beauty of farms and fields around Northern Frederick and a tight knit community of farmers who carry many years of hard work and passion amongst their families as they farm for a living to provide the grains, milk, beef and so much more we use and consume daily.

With harvest season comes an abundance of Tractors 🚜 on the roads Combines traveling roads to get to fields and they take a lane and half of roadways easily.

We ask that you be patient and aware of our farmers as they crunch to make their living during this fall season. Harvesting is hard on farm machinery and can spark fires in equipment and fields due to dry conditions and overloading of debris.

We ask that if you see a tractor, combine field or silo/barn fire call 911 immediately!!! If you are unsure of the exact address of the field you may see equipment on fire in give the closest address location or street name.

We appreciate all of our community members support and understanding.

Recently our Volunteer and Career staff were presented with a special gift from our Towns young students from the first grade at Thurmont Primary School, Mrs. Costner reached out about her students wanting to complete a project for our members by writing “THANK YOU” notes to us and presenting them to our staff and members.

Our career staff was able to swing by between calls on a busy day and visit them to accept this generous gift from them. From the Volunteer and Career staff of Guardian Hose Company we thank the first grader’s from Thurmont Primary School for these wonderful notes and colorful pictures.
