FAIRFAX FIRE & RESCUE NEWS Proudly serving Fairfax, Walford, & surrounding areas Just a reminder to any of you who have fire hydrants in front of your homes, please help uo out by removing the snow from around them. This helps the fire department get our lines establislhed and charged a lot faster, Thank you for helping us. For many of you that have wood stoves or wood burning fire places, it may be a good time to have your chimney checked for creosote build up. As cold as it has been, many of you have probably used them a lot. A mid-winter check just may save you from a chimney fire. Make sure that you are checking the lint traps in your clothes dryers regularly, If your home has a newer efficient furnace, check the outside exhaust tube from your furnace, The moisture that drips down from the exhaust tube will cause an ice build-up from the ground' upward to the tube. Also remember to keep the snow away from the tube. If lice or snow backs up into the exhaust tube, the furnace will shut down to prevent the chance of carbon monoxide from getting into your home.You will also be without heat.
