Simple steps to keep your family and home safe
Press the test button on your smoke detectors every month to make sure they are functioning properly. Working smoke detectors save lives.
Change the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors at least once a year. A good time to remember is when you change your clocks.
Smoke detectors should be replaced after 10 years. Check the date on the back of your detector and replace it if it's past its useful life.
Carbon monoxide is an invisible, odorless danger. Install carbon monoxide detectors on every level of your home, especially near sleeping areas.
Town of Monmouth consumer fireworks regulations
The Town of Monmouth enacted a fireworks ordinance effective January 1, 2013, which places restrictions on the use of consumer fireworks within town limits. This ordinance includes additional safety requirements beyond state law to help protect residents and property.
All residents and visitors are expected to comply with these regulations. Violations may result in fines and penalties as outlined in the ordinance.
The Monmouth Fire Department is always looking for dedicated individuals who want to serve their community. No experience is necessary — we provide all the training you need.
We meet and train every Thursday at 6:30 PM at the Center Station on Main Street. Stop by and see what we're all about.
