Assistant Chief Jeff Owens

Fire prevention measures are everywhere you look. Flame-resistant carpet, firewalls between rooms, fire extinguishers at every corner, and sprinkler systems are in most commercial structures. However, preventative measures don’t stop there. Public education is our first step to ensure fires don’t occur.

The district responds to a multitude of structure fires annually. Many of these are linked to the overloading of electrical plugs, open flames next to combustible materials, or space heaters left unattended. Fire is our business, and we love to discuss preventative measures that can be taken by children, adults, and senior citizens to prevent the occurrence of a fire in your home.
