How do I dispose of unused medications?
Each Briaroaks Fire Station has a box mounted on the front of the station containing secure mailer envelopes to be used for prescription medication disposal. Please take as many envelopes as needed and follow the instructions on the envelope. The envelopes are postage paid and there is no charge for the disposal. These envelopes are only for unused medication. They are not to be used for other medical waste disposal or for any other purpose.

Electrical Fires Often Start Hidden
Electrical fires frequently start inside walls where you cannot see them, often caused by faulty wiring, overloaded circuits, or damaged cords. Warning signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, discolored outlets, or a burning smell with no visible source. If you notice any of these, call a licensed electrician.
Space Heaters Need Space
Space heaters are involved in roughly one-third of all home heating fires. Keep them at least three feet away from anything that can burn — furniture, curtains, bedding, and clothing. Always plug them directly into a wall outlet, never an extension cord, and turn them off when you leave the room or go to sleep.
