As we head into another holiday season, many of us start to think about how we can help locally in the spirit of giving and showing our gratitude for our blessings. Volunteering can be an important part of that, as what better way to give than to share your time with organizations that devote their services to the community all year round?

The Barrington Fire Department is participating in the annual “Keep the Wreath Red” program to promote holiday safety awareness.
A holiday wreath with red lights is displayed outside the fire station through New Year’s Day. If a fire in Barrington occurs due to holiday decorations, firefighters will replace one of the red bulbs with a white one. The program’s goal is to keep the wreath entirely red throughout the season, serving as a visual reminder to prioritize safety when decorating for the holidays.
The fire department encourages the community to take precautions and enjoy a safe, fire-free holiday season.
Holiday home safety tips:
• Install working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home.
• Use only UL-listed electrical cords and decorations. Never overload them.
• Water live Christmas trees regularly and never use live candles on or near them.
• Use battery-operated candles whenever possible.
• Turn off holiday lights and extinguish candles before leaving home or going to bed.
•Never leave food cooking on the stove unattended.
• Keep a multi-purpose (ABC-rated) fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it properly.
• Have chimneys inspected and cleaned professionally, and use a fireplace screen to contain sparks.
• Keep flammable materials at least three feet away from any heat source.
• Clean the lint trap after every use and have dryer vents professionally cleaned regularly.
