The Roseville Fire Department is selling breast cancer awareness T-shirts for $20 each this month. The firefighters, including Kyle Branchick, left, and Jessica Krali will wear them throughout October in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Proceeds from T-shirt sales will benefit members of the community.
On Sept. 29, Roseville held its annual open house in which residents participated in a number of activities. The live burn house was on display, there were CPR demonstrations, a chance for kids to spray a fire hose and more. “We really had a good turnout,” Fire Marshal Bill Ciner said. “We’re trying to educate (our residents) and trying to involve them.” Ciner said that state grant money has made it possible for the department to provide smoke detectors to Roseville homeowners. Firefighters will come to the house to install the smoke detectors and conduct fire safety inspections of the home. They are done during the day and take about 30 minutes. Firefighters also will install carbon monoxide detectors, but homeowners must purchase those on their own. It’s See FIRE on page 18A
