⏰ FALL BACK & CHECK UP! ⏰

​When you set your clocks back an hour this weekend for Daylight Saving Time, take 5 extra minutes to complete a quick life-saving task: test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors!

​Here is your quick 3-point checklist:
​Push to Test: Hold down the test button until the alarm sounds.
​Refresh Batteries: Replace batteries in all unit types (unless you have 10-year sealed units).

​Check Expiry Dates: Alarms don't last forever! Smoke detectors generally last 10 years, and CO detectors 7–10 years. Look for the manufacture date on the back.

​An extra hour of sleep is great, but peace of mind for your family is even better. Stay safe! 🚒🔥

​Option 2: Short & Visual (Great with a photo or graphic)
​⏱️ Clocks turn back this weekend! ⏱️
​Before you catch that extra hour of sleep, make sure your home is protected:

​✅ Test all smoke & carbon monoxide alarms
✅ Swap out old batteries
✅ Clean dust or cobwebs off the covers
✅ Make sure you have alarms on every level of your home & outside sleeping areas

​Working alarms save lives—take 5 minutes to test yours today! 🛠️🏠

👻🔥 Maybe ghosts and witches are real 🤷, but Halloween safety risks are VERY real!

As you prep your home for trick-or-treaters in Deseronto, remember to keep open flames out of your decor. Costumes, fake cobwebs, and paper decorations can catch fire in an instant if they get too close to a real candle.

🎃 Pro Tip: Swap out real candles for battery-operated lights or glow sticks inside your jack-o’-lanterns and displays. You’ll get that perfect spooky glow without the danger! ✨

🚗 Drivers: If you’re out on the roads on Halloween night, please slow down and stay extra alert! Trick-or-treaters will be out in full force and can be hard to see in dark costumes or when darting between parked cars.

Stay safe, watch the roads, and have a Happy Halloween from all of us at the Deseronto Firefighters Association! 🎃👻🚒🧑‍🚒

As we observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month (October 1–31), we join communities worldwide in focusing on education, early detection, and vital support resources.

The official 2026 theme—“Every story is unique, every journey matters”—highlights the deeply personal nature of this fight and the importance of individualized care.

Early detection continues to be one of our strongest tools. Routine screenings, such as mammograms, are generally recommended starting at age 40 or earlier based on personal risk factors.
