Holiday Fire Safety Tips
The year-end holiday season – Halloween, Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year’s – is a prime time for residential fires. Decorative lights, candles, and the onset of the heating season, all increase the likelihood of a fire.
Candles - Instead of using candles in jack-o-lanterns, try battery operated tea candles. Never burn candles near a Christmas tree. Keep candles away from curtains and other combustibles. Don’t leave candles burning unattended or within the reach of small children.
Holiday Lights - Throw away any set of lights that has cracked or frayed cords, or loose or damaged sockets. Do not overload electrical outlets or run extension cords under carpets, across doorways, or near heaters. Never use electrical lights on a metal Christmas tree.
Fireplaces - Have chimneys inspected by a professional at least once a year and have it cleaned if necessary. Use a fire screen, and burn only materials appropriate for fireplaces – never burn trash or paper in a fireplace.
For more information on the topics listed above, please contact the Montclair Fire Department at (909) 447-3540.
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Subscription Program
Each year thousands of 9-1-1 medical calls are received from Montclair residents and businesses. Unexpected emergencies can result in costly medical bills.
By participating in the EMS Subscription Program you can protect yourself, your family or employees against unexpected emergency medical service fees.
For more information on the topics listed above, please contact the Montclair Fire Department at (909) 447-3540.
In an emergency always call 9-1-1
An emergency is considered an event or occurrence demanding immediate action, or any condition endangering life or property. You should call 9-1-1 if you smell smoke; see a fire; or if there is a serious medical emergency or potentially dangerous situation.
Calling 9-1-1 is serious and calling unnecessarily may endanger someone else's life or property! When calling 9-1-1, give the dispatcher the following information: the phone number you are calling from, your name, your location, and the nature of the problem. Remain on the line until the dispatcher tells you it is okay to hang up.
