Fire Protection and Fire Prevention
Fire Prevention week is the second week in October. This is a great time to teach your children and family members about an emergency plan if you have to evacuate your house. This is also a great time for the kids to come down to the station and see the trucks! Feel free to do so at anytime, if you have a larger group please call ahead to make sure that someone is at the station.
House Signs
Properly marking your house with an address number signs is essential, first responders rely on these signs to find your house in emergency situations. As some of you may know when you call the fire department you're in a time of need and time shouldn't be wasted looking for a house number. Signs are available at Campton-Thornton Station 1 for purchase-$10. The fire department will put your house number on the sign for you.
