Smoke detectors typically alarm with a loud, constant sound that persists until the smoke clears or until its owner disables the unit. An occasional chirp is typically a sign of a low battery. Check the home for any indication of smoke or fire. If there is any question in your mind as to whether there may be a fire, get out of the building and call 911. Never leave a smoke detector in a non-working state. If the battery is dead or borrowed for another use, make it a point to replace it with a fresh one before you retire for the evening. Your life, and the lives of your family, may depend on it.

Call 911. Overhead wires can carry electricity, cable television or telephone service. Electrical voltages vary from as little as a few volts to over 13,000. All wires should be considered as dangerous because they could come in contact with an electrical transmission line somewhere along their path. Downed wires may also come in contact with fences and other conductive objects. Stay away and contact your Fire Department. We will help to identify the wire and assess the risk. Firefighters will then establish a safe perimeter using yellow barrier tape and notify the appropriate utility for repair. In high-hazard cases, firefighters may stand by at the scene to keep people safely away.

Yes we do. We have a team of trained firefighters with their CPST certification that can help you learn how to safely install your child safety seats.

We are staffed with a minimum of two firefighters on Monday-Friday between 7am-5pm. Outside of those hours, we operate as a paid-on-call department. This means all personnel carry a pager and respond when available to the station when there is an emergency.

Carbon monoxide can build up over time until is eventually reaches a level sufficient to set off your detector, or it can build quickly due to gas-fired cooking and heating appliances that may not be properly vented. Newer detectors feature digital displays to indicate how many parts per million have been detected. The safest action is to leave the home and call for assistance. Opening doors and windows will make a safer environment but will make it more difficult for firefighters to find the problem. Milan Area Firefighters have sophisticated instruments that can help to detect and measure this toxic gas. Firefighters can also check for obvious problems in the furnace or water heater duct work and assess other potential sources. If anyone in the home is feeling ill, firefighter will provide any care that may be appropriate. In many cases we will notify the gas company to send a representative as well. Gas company technicians are even better equipped to identify and correct the problem, however a gas company service charge is applicable.

As a fire department, we must be available to respond to any emergency at a moments notice, whether that be from the fire station or from another emergency. By having a fire engine, it gives us the ability to have all the necessary equipment for any given call.
