With the upcoming storm this weekend, the Seymour Fire Department wants to remind everyone about some important safety tips.
1. Please remember to clear paths to all of your doorways. It is important to have multiple ways out of your residence in an emergency.
2. Clear snow around any vents such as heaters or dryers.
3. In the event of a power outage, use flashlights not candles. If you have to run a generator, make sure it is at least 10 feet from your residence and the exhaust is blowing away.
4. Make sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
5. Make sure you check on elderly neighbors and family members.
6. Please help us out by shoveling around your neighborhood fire hydrants, it will help us help you in the event of an emergency. Our crews will be out shoveling hydrants next week, but it takes a long time to get them all done in between emergency calls. Please help us by adopting a hydrant near your residence.
7. In the event of an emergency, remember to call 911 not the firehouse.
Stay safe and enjoy the storm!
