A reminder from the Vernon County Sheriff's Office
Sheriff Buehler wants to remind everyone of fire safety with the cooler weather this time of year. Residential fires have increased in Vernon County, so here are a few tips.
Please be mindful of radiant heaters and small space heaters. Keep items away from them that could ignite. Please read the instructions on the heater before using an extension cord.
Make sure flus and chimneys are clean for wood burning stoves.
You can purchase carbon monoxide detectors to keep you aware of any danger.
It is always a good idea to have a fire extinguisher on hand.
