Fire Marshal Ryan is looking up… and this is your reminder to do the same! 👀

Fire safety is part of Ryan’s everyday work, and a few simple checks can help keep your home safe too:

🔊 Check your smoke alarms! Have them inside every bedroom, outside sleeping areas, and on every level. Test monthly and replace alarms when they’re 10 years old.

🏠 Check your carbon monoxide (CO) alarms! Have them at minimum on every level. Test monthly and follow the manufacturer’s replacement instructions, CO alarms expire too!

❄️ As our mountain nights get colder, keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from space heaters, and turn them off before bed or when leaving the room.

A few minutes of checking now can make a big difference when it matters. Consider this your sign to press that “test” button today. 🔊

🚒 Mountain living comes with some unique challenges!

Steep terrain, remote properties, and unpredictable weather can make emergency response a little more complicated up here. That’s why our East Grand firefighters train for all kinds of situations (sometimes with a pretty great view). 🌄

This Fire Prevention Month, here are a few ways you can help keep our mountain community safe:

🏡 Make sure your house numbers are clearly visible from the road.

🚒 Keep driveways and access roads clear for emergency vehicles.

❄️ As winter approaches, keep fire hydrants clear of snow.

🌲 Know your evacuation routes and have a plan if you need to leave quickly.

We’ll handle the heights. You help us with the ground rules😉

🐱🔥 Tomorrow marks the start of Fire Prevention Month!

We thought this recent rescue was a pretty perfect way to kick things off. Our firefighters are always ready to help when emergencies happen, including our four legged community members.

The best fire is one that never starts, and Fire Prevention Month is a great reminder of the simple things we can all do to help keep our homes, families, and pets safe. We’ll be sharing a few tips throughout the month.

We’re glad this call ended on a good note. ❤️🐾
