Richard Hess – Fire Inspector Direct Line (201) 767-3330 Smoke Dectors And Preparation Save Lives Working smoke detectors are your first line of defense in the event of a fire in your home. Having time to escape your home, in the event of a fire, is crucial for the survival of your family. Your chance of survival doubles with a working smoke detector installed within 10ft of all bedroom doors and at least each level of your home. Smoke detectors should be checked regularly and batteries change as necessary. It is a good practice to change the batteries at least twice a year when you change your clocks. Fire Hazards Most fires can be prevented because they are accidental in nature. In general all fires require three " ingredients" to start, theses ingredients are in your home. They are a fuel (something that can bum), ignition, (something that gets hot) and air. Put them together and you have a fire that may be small, but all big fires start small. Here are some basic fire safety rules to help eliminate fire hazards around your house. Keep combustibles away from the boiler, furnace or hot water heaters. Use caution when using electric or fuel heating units… where unit is placed, near storage or combustibles. Have your fireplace cleaned annually and keep newspapers/combustibles away from front, use a screen. •Regularly check your stovepipe on a wood-burning stove. Store gasoline in an approved container and in a safe location away from heat sources. Check all electrical outlets ensure there are no overloaded circuits or over use of electrical extension cords. Do not run electrical extension cords under any rug. Ensure clothes iron and hair dryer is unplugged when not in use. Clean clothes dryer lint collector and vent regularly. Use candles with caution and never leave unattended. Keep matches and lighters away from children. . Clean oven and remove any grease. Use smoking materials with caution; do not smoke in bed and dispose of smoking materials in a non-combustile container. Do not empty in ordinary trash container. Store propane outside structure. Smoke Detector / Carbon Monoxide Detector and Fire Extingusher Inspection Required Residents planning to sell homes are required to apply for and receive a Certificate of Compliance from the Building Department, this includes a certificate of Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide Certificate; This requirement is also required for any rentals. The minimum requirement is one ten year sealed, battery- operated smoke detector required to be installed on each level and outside bedrooms.

McGuire 2023-Present Memoirs of Northvale VFW Members Eagle Project by Seamus Ward For my eagle project, members of the Northvale VFW were interviewed about their service in foreign wars. These interviews were put into PDF documents and are here on this web page. This web page was designed with the intention of increasing awareness regarding the service of these brave Americans. I encourage anyone and everyone to read and become aware of what these men and women have done for our country. Thousands of American men and women have served in the military in foreign wars. To aid their adjustment after returning from these wars, the VFW was established. Although recent and current wars are present in our thoughts, many years have passed since WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam. As a result many veterans have grown old, died, and some may even have been forgotten. I have learned from a member from the Northvale VFW post 162, that many veterans die with people knowing very little or nothing of their Service in the Military. I would like to change this unfortunate occurrence. These soldiers fought for our right to be free. I want to ensure they are remembered and honored. Below are PDF files containing interviews of the Veterans. Brady, Don Cambareri, Vincent Connoly, Leonard R. Di Blasio, Salvatore Doran, Cecil England, Brian Grassi, Joseph Griepenburg, George W.

Qualifications to Become a Volunteer Firefighter: KEY FIRE SAFETY TIPS, per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA): Many home fires are preventable: Watch your cooking Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, or broiling food. If you must leave, even for a short time, turn off the stove. Give space heaters space Keep fixed and portable space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn. Turn off heaters when you leave the room or go to sleep. Smoke outside Ask smokers to smoke outside. Have sturdy, deep ashtrays for smokers. Keep matches and lighters out of reach Keep matches and lighters up high, out of the reach of children, preferably in a cabinet with a child lock. Inspect electrical cords Replace cords that are cracked, damaged, have broken plugs, or have loose connections. Be careful when using candles Keep candles at least one foot from anything that can burn. Blow out candles when you leave the room or go to sleep. Have a home fire escape plan Make a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year. Install smoke alarms Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, inside bedrooms and outside sleeping areas. Interconnect smoke alarms throughout the home. When one sounds, they all sound. Test smoke alarms Test smoke alarms at least once a month and replace batteries once a year or when the alarm “chirps” to tell you the battery is low. Replace any smoke alarm that is more than 10 years old. Install sprinklers If you are building or remodeling your home, install residential fire sprinklers. Sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive. Source: National Fire Protection Association (NFPA®)
