The upcoming end of Daylight Savings Time is an opportune time to check and maintain your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The checking and maintaining of these units takes just a few minutes. These few minutes can mean the difference between life and death for you and your family.
Working smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are an intricate part of home fire safety. These units work 24 hours a day to protect you and your family, but they will only work properly if maintained properly. They should be vacuumed every time you change your clocks at the beginning and end of Daylight Savings Time to help prevent false activations. The batteries should also be changed at least once a year. You should also note the date the unit was manufactured every time you maintain the units. If the units are 8-10 years old they should be replaced with new units.

Engine 75 responded into the
City of Camden as a part of the Camden County 5" Pipeline Taskforce. The
Taskforce is made up of 7 Engine Companies from around the County who all carry
5" large diameter supply hose and are capable of pumping at least 1,500 gpm of
water. The team is utilized on large fires where there the needed water on a
fire scene is greater than the available water supplies in the area can handle.
The Taskforce units are able to deploy their hose and pump a large volume of
water to the fire scene from a separate and reliable water source.
On this incident, Engine 75
was re-directed from the Pipeline Taskforce and ordered to replace Engine 10
(Camden) on a hydrant at 15h and Federal Streets to supply Engine 6 and Ladder 2
(Camden) due to a mechanical problem. Engine 75 was later released from the
scene and returned to Runnemede without incident.
