Summer Safety Tips from Chief Chuck Coyne
Updated
On: Apr 14, 2010 (05:34:00)
 Gas Grill Safety Tips
Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes, and leaks. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose or tubing.Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and dripping hot grease.Always keep propane gas containers upright.Never store a spare gas container under or near the grill or indoors.Never store or use flammable liquids, like gasoline, near the grill.Never keep a filled container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape. Charcoal Grill Safety Tips Never burn charcoal inside of homes, vehicles, tents, or campers.Charcoal should never be used indoors, even if ventilation is provided.Since charcoal produces CO fumes until the charcoal is completely extinguished, do not store the grill indoors with freshly used coals

Mew monitors Save Family
Updated
On: Sep 08, 2009 (18:09:00)
A 29 year old lady and her family, had the good fortune of deciding to do her shopping at Overland Plaza recently. While there she experienced chest pain and shortness of breath and an ambulance was called. The Community Fire Protection District responded with an ambulance from the engine house in Overland. On arrival the crew placed her on the Life Pak 15 for an EKG and oxygen saturation reading. The monitor immediately alarmed showing an elevated met hemoglobin of 3% and a carbon monoxide reading of 37%. She was placed on high flow oxygen and transported to a hospital for hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A call was placed to her residence and it was evacuated and the other family members were sent to medical treatment. An evaluation by the gas company found a faulty flu on the hot water heater.
