5-Day ForecastTAKE ADVANTAGE OF SMOKE AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM CHECKS The Johnston-Grimes Metropolitan Fire Department (JGMFD) is proud to serve both communities to ensure the safety of residents in their homes. With Daylight Saving Time approaching on March 8, the JGMFD re-minds residents to check their smoke and carbon mon-oxide alarms. If you need assistance with the checks, the JGMFD is here to help. The JGMFD received $5,000 from the “Close Before You Doze” campaign and $1,000 from Kwik Star. These grants allowed the fire department to purchase smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and batteries. The American Red Cross is also a partner and provides smoke alarms. The department’s goal is to perform checks while at a resident’s home during a medical call; however, there may be times when this is not possible due to the type of call. But the department will leave a card for the resident to call back to schedule a time for the check. Residents within Johnston or Grimes can take advan-tage of this service by contacting the fire marshal at 515-251-7692. A call to schedule a check could help save your life.
