Summer Village of Silver Sands
FALL FIRE SAFETY MESSAGE
Fire Advisory issued May 21, 2026 as of 9:00 am.
Your local fire department is reminding all residents and property owners in our service area to observe the following best practices for a fire safe home this fall:
*Ensure you have your chimneys cleaned, as well as laundry dryer vents - two
common fall fire risks if not maintained.
*When using space heaters - give them at least three feet clearance on all sides and
keep them away from curtains and any other material that may come in contact with
the heater.
*Have an escape plan in your home- make sure you have at least two ways out
and practice this with everyone who lives with you.
Also, as the busy summer draws to a close and we settle in for the colder months, consider how you might be able to help your local fire station. We're always looking for new team members - volunteer, paid on-call, and staff positions. Whether you're looking for a new career, a career change, or just wanting to be a part of team, we've got a solution for you!
Currently there are excellent staff positions open for applicants:
-Fire Captain (x2)
-Assistant Fire Chief (x1)

Take care and be safe!
