Heating Fire Safety

kyle.swartley — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 15:15:29 +0000

Each winter the high cost of home heating fuels and utilities causes many Americans to search for alternate sources of home heating. The use of wood burning stoves is growing and space heaters are selling rapidly. Fireplaces are burning wood and man-made logs. All these methods of heating may be acceptable. They are however, a major contributing factor in home fires.

Many of these fires can be prevented. You can prevent the loss of life and property resulting from heating fires by being able to identify potential hazards and following a few safety tips:

All heaters need space. Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heating equipment.
Use heating equipment that has the label of a recognized testing laboratory.
Make sure all fuel-burning heating equipment is vented to the outside to avoid carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning.
Only purchase portable space heaters with an automatic shut-off so if they’re tipped over they will shut off.
Allow wood stove and fireplace ashes to cool before disposing of them in a tightly covered metal container. Keep the container at least 10 feet away from your home.

2012 Fish Fry Preparation Meeting

kyle.swartley — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 01:12:09 +0000

Over the last few years the fish dinners have been gaining in popularity far beyond our imaginations could have predicted. With the increase in meals served, the support staff must also be increased to sustain the level of service that our patrons have come to expect. All involved have risen to the occasion, breaking records night after night and year after year!

As we have done for the past two years, we will be meeting on Wednesday night, February 15th at 6:30PM to go over lessons learned from the past 3 years and the game plan for the next 7 weeks.

To everyone that has donated their time, THANK YOU! To everyone that has enjoyed a meal with us, THANK YOU! With out all of you, the fish dinners that many have come to anticipate, enjoy, and rave about would not be possible!
