St. James Auxiliary Spreads Holiday Cheer to Local Veterans.

Each holiday season, the St. James Fire Department Auxiliary has a cherished tradition of adopting a family in need and brightening their celebrations with generosity and care. This year, the Auxiliary took a meaningful new direction by choosing to support the veterans at the VA Hospital in Northport.

Thanks to the dedicated efforts and donations from our Auxiliary members, and the generosity of our Fire Fighters and EMS team, more than $1,000 was raised in cash and gift cards. In addition, the group, along with the many donations from FD members, collected hundreds of essential health items and clothing, all to be distributed to local veterans who need them most. These donations will provide much-needed comfort and support to those who have served our country, especially during the holiday season.

Thank you to the St. James Auxiliary for their incredible commitment, energy, and compassion. The spirit of giving is alive and well in our community because of their example.

Thank you to all the members who donated. It’s amazing how much we can achieve when we come together to help others.

In recent weeks, Smithtown Department of Public Safety Fire Marshals have responded to numerous structure fires throughout the Town of Smithtown, NY.

With half of all home heating fires occurring in December, January, and February; we urge residents to take winter fire safety seriously.

Please consider and share the following winter and holiday safety tips:

🪵 Store cooled ashes in a tightly covered metal container, and keep it outside at least 10 feet from your home and any nearby buildings.

🧦 Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from any heat source like fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators or space heaters.

🕯️ Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that burns. Make sure they are in stable holders and place them where they cannot be knocked down easily. Consider using battery-operated flameless candles.

💡 Inspect holiday lights each year before you put them up. Throw away light strands with frayed or pinched wires.

🎄 Water your Christmas tree every day. A dry Christmas tree can burn very hot and very fast.

🏠 Have a qualified professional clean and inspect your chimney and vents every year.
