Myth: Carbon monoxide alarms make noise when CO is present.

Fact: Carbon monoxide alarms save lives.

Carbon monoxide alarms will alert you when there is a deadly amount of CO present and are excellent life safety devices. Portable handheld monitors can alert you at any level of carbon monoxide.

C shift is putting in that work. Testing, training, and implementing new rescue techniques our responders can have in their arsenal if and when an incident requiring high angle rescue might occur. We love to see the guys push the limits of the ordinary scene management to challenge the thoughts and processes to help our community. Keep up the work responders!!

The Redings Mill Fire Protection District extends its condolences to the Norris Family. Marilou Norris recently passed away. Her husband, Bob, was a volunteer firefighter with our organization in the early years. In the 1990s, she, along with other firefighter wives and community members, formed the ladies’ auxiliary. The auxiliary organized annual fundraisers and played a vital role in providing equipment during times of financial strain. She served on the fire district's board of directors from 1996 to 2001. We appreciate the Norris family's involvement with the fire district over the years.
