Norwich Fire Department welcomes all for open house tonight
NORWICH – City of Norwich firefighters will welcome citizens into their second home tonight at their annual open house.
The doors will be raised from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday at the East Main Street station.
Firemen will be offering truck rides, hose and automobile extraction demonstrations, station tours and a presentation by Sparky the robotic Fire Dog.
City of Norwich Code Enforcement Officer Jason Lawrence said the office will be available for questions on proper smoke and carbon detector placement and use. The Preferred Mutual Insurance Company will also be offering its child identification program again this year.
Fire Prevention Week officially began Sunday. This year’s theme is “Smoke Alarms: A Sound You Can Live With.”
Each year, the second week of October is designated as Fire Prevention Week and fire departments across Chenango have been arranging public events, inviting local residents to get to know the men and women serving in the local fire districts.
Chenango County Fire Coordinator Michael Beckwith said the most important thing a person can do is ensure their home has a working smoke detector. Beckwith said many of the home fires he’s responded to had smoke detectors, but many were not used properly, were unplugged, or had dead batteries.
Detectors should be placed on each floor of your home and outside of sleeping areas. Beckwith said smoke detectors that are more than 10 years old should be replaced. The Chenango County Bureau of Fire recommends that smoke alarms be checked once a month.
