IMPORTANT SAFETY NEWS:
Smoke Detectors Must Have Non-Removable 10-Year Batteries

As of April 2019, a NY law requires all battery-operated smoke detectors sold in our state to be the sealed, NON-REMOVABLE 10-Year-battery-type of smoke alarm. We strongly encourage you to replace your old smoke detectors with these new, low-maintenance 10-year, sealed detectors. Since you won't have to remember to replace the battery each year, these new 10-year sealed alarms will likely save thousands of lives! Remember: you should have at least one smoke detector on every level of your home!

There is an annual BURN BAN (no open burning outdoors) in Sullivan County from March to May each year. Springtime often means the groundcover is dry, and it can easily catch fire quickly and burn out of control. The annual burn ban has decreased spring wildfires by nearly 43% since 2009! Thank you for helping to keep our community safe!
