Now is a great time to test carbon monoxide detectors and remember to not use Open flame devices such as grills inside. Also space heaters require clearance on all side to minimize fire hazard. Please reach out to Fire, Police or Rescue for further assistance. Be safe and stay warm!

As you might have heard, we have some winter weather coming; tonight through Sunday we have cold temperatures and wind, making wind chills very cold. Then Sunday (midmorning/afternoon) through Monday, we have the potential for lots of snow.
- Stay Warm and Safe;
Limit your time outdoors and dress in layers if you must go out.
Check on elderly neighbors/friends, family and anyone you think may need some help.
Use heating devices safely; never leave space heaters unattended and ensure proper ventilation.
-Be prepared;
Charge your phones and devices ahead of time.
Have flashlights and extra batteries in case of power outages.
Make sure you have essential supplies and foods.
-Travel Smart;
Avoid unnecessary travel; allow the plows to do their thing!!
Slow down, increase following distances and watch the road conditions.
Keep essentials in your car in case you get stranded. But the best way to avoid this is just stay home!!!

As always, if you have any kind of emergency, call 911!!!

Pro tip for surviving the cold in Vermont:
1 check the fuel levels for your heating fuels prior to Saturday's extreme cold. Reach out to your fuel provider if you need to.
2 Cold weather is hard on your vehicles. Always keep your fuel tank in your cars and trucks filled up in the extreme cold. This prevents moisture and condensation buildup but it never hurts to carry some dry gas as well.
3 remember to check on friends, neighbors and the elderly. Not everybody has the luxury of being prepared
4 Request help as early as possible. If experiencing difficulties with heating systems or the ability to heat your home. It is easier to keep a safe temperature in your home than it is to raise a freezing temperature.
