As the cooler temperatures migrate across our region, as does the concern for home heating safety. As soon as the temperature falls, your East Meadow Volunteer Fire Department will begin a season of nearly six months running to heating system emergencies, as burners begin full throttle operation to warm your family home or business.
The chiefs, officers and members of the East Meadow Fire Department urge our residents to take steps each year to ensure the safety of your loved ones. Heating equipment is a leading cause of home fire deaths in the USA with half of all home heating equipment fires reported during the months of December, January and February.
Help make your home safe this year, not just for your family, but also for the men and women who will respond to your home in a moment’s notice.
