❄️🚒COLD WEATHER SAFETY ALERT FROM YOUR Frostproof Fire Department 🚒❄️

A powerful cold front is on the way that will be dropping temperatures into the 20’s and 30’s. Your Frostproof Fie Department wants to remind you that it's important to stay safe while using your heating systems for the first or second time this season. Keep these essential fire safety tips in mind:

🔥 Heating & Space Heater Tips
* Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from anything flammable, such as curtains, furniture, or bedding
* Use only space heaters equipped with an automatic shut-off feature
* Plug heaters directly into a wall outlet — avoid using extension cords or power strips
* Turn off heaters before going to bed or leaving the room

🏠 Preparing Your Home Heating System
* Have your furnace or heating system inspected and serviced if possible
* Clear dust and debris from vents and heaters to prevent odors and potential fires
* Keep combustibles away from your furnace or heat sources

🚨 Fire & Carbon Monoxide Safety
* Confirm that smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors are functioning properly with fresh batteries
* Never use ovens, grills, or generators as a heating source

Being prepared can make a big difference in preventing fires during cold weather. Stay warm, stay safe, and don’t hesitate to reach out with any safety concerns. ❤️🚒❄️

A Heartfelt Thank You from Frostproof Fire Department

The Frostproof Fire Department would like to extend our sincere thanks to Frostproof Ben Hill Griffin, Jr. Elementary School for the thoughtful posters and kind messages honoring First Responders. It was truly an honor to receive these heartfelt creations from the students.

We were deeply touched by the artwork and words of appreciation — and even more blessed by the delicious variety of cookies that came with them!

Please take a moment to view the amazing posters and comments these young students made to show their support for our department. Their encouragement means more than words can express.

As we reflect on this generous gesture, we also invite everyone to pause and remember the victims of the 9/11 tragedy. Please take a moment out of your day to say a small prayer in their memory and in honor of all First Responders who serve with courage and dedication.
