Starting Monday September 13th and continuing through the end of October, the Twinsburg Fire Department will be flushing hydrants North of Rt. 82, including Cannon Road area.
All residents should keep the following in mind: 1) This is a necessary action to ensure that the hydrants are in good working order. 2) Should the water in your home become discolored, you are advised to run the water until it is clear. 3) Be cautious of the firefighters in the roadway – pass with care. 4) Flushing should be accomplished Monday through Friday, but it may be necessary to utilize weekends as well.

Should you have any questions regarding this notification, please contact Bonnie Kocmit at 330-963-6256 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Have you had it cleaned recently?
Soot and the tars from burning wood can build up in it and eventually ignite causing a chimney fire.
Having it cleaned and inspected at least once a year is a really good thing to do. Have it done right after the season or right before the season begins.

Fire Departments Help Get the Message Out

According to the National Fire Protection Association, more than six thousand false fire alarms
occur in the United States each day...and the number is increasing.
Local Fire Departments are succeeding in getting the message out through public service announements (PSA's). A 60 second PSA was posted online last February and fire departments throughout the country have participated in getting it aired. View it here.
