“Look. Listen. Learn. Be aware – fire can happen anywhere.”

October 7 – 13, 2018 is National Fire Prevention Week.

Local members have spent their time this week in many different schools and public events.

Through three simple calls-to-action, this year’s theme identifies basic but essential ways people can reduce their risk to fire and be prepared in the event of one:

Look for places fire can start

Listen for the sound of the smoke alarm

Learn two ways out of each room

BOX ALARM/SINGLE CAR INTO A POLE

Gamewell Box 224 alerted B-shift today around 1100hrs for a Box Alarm at Broadway & Keagy Ave .  While equipment was responding, Hanover Police gave an updated about a vehicle accident close to the same location.  Engine 79-3 arrived to find one vehicle into a pole.  The Gamewell Box was pulled to alert the Fire Department of the accident.  Great thinking of Off Duty Captain Kemmberly.  The Box was held to Engine 79-3 and Truck 79, while Met-Ed secured the power and towing company removed the vehicle. 

A note to our Citizens

Gamewell Boxes are all over the town of Hanover.  They are the Red Boxes on telephone poles and buildings, red and white “Fire” stickers are on the sides of the Boxes.   If you have an “EMERGENCY”, activating a Gamewell Box is the fasted way to get Emergency Responders to your location.  Please remember always to call 911 after activating a Box, stay by the Box and wait for Emergency Responders to arrive.
