Penny for a Free Ride

Michelin North America is awarding a $100,000 scholarship to a college-bound student, and we want to help our local teens try to win it.

With school being out on Monday and Tuesday, Landrum area teens are encouraged to come to the fire station (200 N. Trade Ave) between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. We’ll help perform the “Penny Tread Test” or check their tire pressure and take their pictures doing it so they can enter the contest by submitting the photos through social media.

Sure. It may help a local student win a college scholarship, but more importantly, this helps us identify issues to keep our students safer on the roads.

2019 Halloween Fire Safety Tips

Halloween is a fun time of year for kids. Keep trick-or-treating safe for your little ones with a few easy safety tips.

  • When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing fabric. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so he or she can see out.
  • Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.
  • Dried flowers, cornstalks and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters.
  • Use a battery-operated candle or glow-stick in jack-o’-lanterns. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o’-lanterns, use long, fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of the way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways and yards.
  • Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes.
  • Make sure all smoke alarms in the home are working.
  • Tell children to stay away from open flames including jack-o’-lanterns with candles in them. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire. (Have them practice, stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.)
