Smoke alarms save lives. Commissioner Causey is thankful that this family had working smoke alarms and had a plan. For information on smoke alarms or carbon monoxide detectors, contact your local fire department or American Red Cross office.

Fit to fight testing today at our FD. Vision tester put a piece of tape on the floor. Many of our guys didn't know what it was for and kept throwing it out. No empty salt shakers here. #prideandownership@ShepherdsFireNC
