Now that summer is here and the kids are out of school the fire department would like to remind everyone to watch for the kids out playing , we would also like to remind everyone that is doing there spring cleaning to change the batteries in there smoke detectors and replace any damaged ones. This is the time of year everyone is burning sticks and leaves we just ask that you keep them to a minimum and always under control.
