Fire Prevention Week

Fire Prevention Week was a great success this year, and we were happy to see the family participation during our display at Walgreen's and McDonald's. Fire Prevention Week gave us an opportunity to speak with Milford area school children about the hazards of fire. We want to thank the Milford Schools for allowing us to pick up the children in the fire trucks and bring them to the station for tours and safety demonstrations. During this week, we also hosted an open house so the community could see all of our equipment. We would like to thank Willis Freeman of Lloyd's Radiator Shop for bringing his modified racecar to the open house for the children to enjoy. The Milford Community Firefighters' Club is one of the many sponsors of Freeman Motorsports Team, driven by Ronnie Niehaus.

Home-Safety Tips for the Holidays

• Keep all furniture and other household items at least 3 feet away from the fireplace;
• Always make sure your fireplace flue is open before lighting a fire;
• Never leave portable heaters unattended;
• Instead, use surge-suppressor cords;
• Keep live Christmas trees well-hydrated, and be sure to keep all trees a clear distance from fireplaces and portable heaters.
  
  With some careful planning, your holidays will be worry-free. The Milford Community Fire Department wishes you and your family a safe and happy holiday season and a joyful new year.
  
  1945 Seagrave

The Milford Community Firefighters Association is sending out our "Old Time" Seagrave to be completely refurbished. Funds were raised by our weekly Thursday-night Bingo. The improvements should be complete by the spring.

Santa Sunday On Sunday, December 16, 2001, Santa will come to the City of Milford to pass out treats and safety reminders. Keep your eye out for Ol' Saint Nick on the fire truck. Be sure to check out our new website at www.milfordcommunityfd.org
