Public Safety

Smoke Detectors: "Smoke alarms that are properly installed and maintained play a vital role in reducing fire deaths and injuries. Having a working smoke alarm cuts the chance of dying in a reported fire in half." Wintergreen Fire wants you and your families to be safe from the threat of fire. Remember to change your batteries at least twice a year. If you need smoke or carbon monoxide detectors, please refer to our Kidde Fire Products page. Click NFPA for more information on keeping your home safe in case of fire.

Knox Box: Do you have a Knox Box? A Knox Box could prevent lots of unnecessary damage to your house or building if the Fire Department needs to enter your structure for an emergency. Please refer to our Knox Box page for more information.

Healthy 12-Lead: If you are a member of the Wintergreen community, Wintergreen Fire and Rescue offers a Healthy 12-Lead EKG as a free service. Capturing a 12-Lead EKG (ElectroKardioGram) from participants when they are are feeling well provides a baseline for evaluation by physicians in emergency situations where a cardiac event is suspected, possibly allowing for quick diagnosis and more timely treatment. If you would like to find out more about this service please see our Healthy EKG Program page or contact us at one of our stations.
