Fire Incident Information

http://www.inciweb.org/InciWeb is an interagency all-risk incident information management system. The system was developed with two primary missions:

1. Provide the public a single source of incident related information
2. Provide a standardized reporting tool for the Public Affairs community

A number of supporting systems automate the delivery of incident information to remote sources. This ensures that the information regarding active incidents is consistent, and the delivery is timely.

How does your home survive the summer heat!

Keeping cool and surviving the record heat is an enduring task this year; imagine what it takes for your home to keep you comfortable.

Here are some simple things you can do to make it to the end of the heat days.

·         Always keep your air-conditioner clean. This means changing the filters on a regular basis monthly or semimonthly depending on the usage.

·         Check your attic fans to make sure they are operating properly and make sure there are no obstructions. 

·         Open your foundation vents to allow for the proper air flow.  It may not be a bad idea to keep the vents open all year round.

·         If you have a garage, leave the door open a couple of inches during the real hot times to allow for ventilation.  Try not to store flammable materials in the hot garage especially when there is no ventilation.

·         It may not look as nice but, keep your lawn longer the green will appreciate the extra length.  Water during the night or around those times; you may need to hand water around the concrete to help with the burn areas.

These are just a few common sense ideas that will help your home survive the hot days of summer.  It may not be a manicured lawn but the lawn will thank you.
