The Broad Brook Fire Dept. would like to remind all who celebrate the holiday season to do so safely. Please take time to follow the link below and see what can happen when your Christmas tree is not properly taken care of. Please remember to change your batteries in all of you smoke detectors and be sure to have them located outside of bedroom doors and on all levels of the house including the basement level where your heating units are located. As you will see if you visit this link, it will greatly aid in saving your life if a fire occurs. Also please be sure your house numbers are visible from the street and properly lighted at night time to help us find your house and provide the fastest response possible in your time of need.

From the Officer and Members of the Broad Brook Fire Department, we hope you and your family enjoys and has a safe and healthy holiday season.

The Broad Brook Fire department and its members would like to remind everyone to change your batteries in your smoke detectors and CO alarms.

As we spring forward an hour for Daylight Savings, it's a great reminder to make sure you have a working smoke alarm in your home.  Smoke alarms significantly increase your chances of surviving a deadly home fire, so we're encouraging everyone to take simple steps to be prepared:

• Test and clean your smoke alarms today and on the first of every month
• Replace the batteries at least once a year
• Place smoke alarms on every level of your residence and in every bedroom
• Check the manufacture/expiration date on the smoke alarm (yes, smoke alarms have expiration dates)

The Broad Brook Fire Department would also like to turn your attention to this article from the Portland Fire Department that tells the story of how a family's fire escape plan saved the lives of two young girls and their mother, so please remember to practice your family escape plan --- it can literally save your life.  Just copy and paste the blue underlined family's fire escape plan saved the lives , and paste it in the browser a link to the story should appear.

Also for more information about home smoke alarms and fire sprinklers, please visit www.usfa.dhs.gov/smokealarms.
