The members of The Good Will Fire Company would like to remind the public that if your fire or CO alarms go off inside your building, to call 911. CO is very dangerous and has no odor. Do not ignore your alarms; they are there to protect you! We would also like to remind the public not to put anything flammable, or anything plastic inside your oven. Finally, please do not throw anything burning, or still hot, inside a trash can or dumpster because that can cause a much bigger fire.

Please have a safe and Happy Holiday!
