If I work on Saturdays, how can I get rid of my Household Hazardous Waste?
You may have a friend, family member or other designated person drops them off for you. Just let us know.
Why are the fire hydrant tops painted different colors around town?
The tops of the Fire Hydrants are painted different colors to color code the capacity of that hydrant. Each color represents gallons per minute range so we have an idea of what we can expect from that hydrant. This also helps keep our fire insurance rates down.
Will the fire department assist me with the installation of a smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector?
Yes. We will come and advise where to put them and if needed will assist you in mounting them appropriately.
Can I have a children’s car seat installed in my vehicle?
Yes, call the fire station and have an appointment set up with one of our certified car seat technicians.
Can I get fire safety and fire extinguisher training?
Yes, just call the fire station and set up an appointment for a class. We need to know what you need, the number of people and the audience (age) we will be presenting to.
Do I need a burn permit every time I want to burn in the city limits?
Yes permits are only issued on a daily basis and only certain things can be burned. Weather and the size of area play a part in the process. We follow national guidelines and this process helps to keep our insurance rates lower.
