Santa

We would like to thank all the children that came out to visit Santa this last Saturday. He told the firemen that all the Genola children  were being very good this year.

Your Volunteer Fireman wish each one of you a safe, joyful Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Santa Is Coming

The tradition continues this year with Santa coming to the fire station on December 15th. Instead of his sleigh he will be using a fire truck. Watch for him from 8:30 until 10:00am as he makes his way around town. He will be then at the station from 10:00am til 12:00 to visit with the children.

Smoke Alarms

Have you checked your smoke alarm batteries recently?

Genola Fire Department urges you to check your smoke and CO alarms and batteries for the upcoming winter. This is the time of year when most of us use our wood burning stoves and fireplaces.

 

Smoke alarms most often fail because of missing, dead or disconnected batteries, so maintenance is a simple and effective way to protect your family and reduce home fire deaths.

For best protection, it is recommended that you install alarms utilizing both ionization and photoelectric technology, and ones that have long life 10 year lithium ion batteries.

 

Visit the United States Fire Administration and National Fire Protection Association for additional information regarding smoke alarm types, installation, maintenance and safety.

 

 

 

West Mountain Fire

We were paged out to a wildland fire on the west side of West Mountain on Saturday the 15th around 7 pm. This fire was started by target shooters. Ten of our members came out to fight this fire which was in very rocky and steep terrain. This fire had to be fought with hand tools.

A Forest Service and BLM hand crew arrived around dark and started working to extinguish this fire.

As of Wednesday September 12th the Genola Fire Chief has lifted the fire ban inside the town limits for Genola. Please call into dispatch's burn line (801-374-2876) before burning.
