Mother's Day Breakfast
The Occumbomock Engine company held a very special
breakfast for Mom on Mother’s Day. There was a lot to eat and a lot of
people to say hello to now that we’re all coming out of our winter caves and
starting to enjoy the Spring in Bellport. A raffle was also held for a
basket of cheer and two $100 gas gift certificates for Monti’s Gas Station.
It really was a wonderful way to start off the day. Thank you Bellport Fire
Department!
Brush Fire Safety Tips
With winter behind us, we are now starting to enjoy some warm weather. Warm, breezy spring weather means dry vegetation that can result in brush fires that burn and spread quickly. Burning embers from brush fires can be carried on the wind causing multiple fires. Many homeowners are tempted to try extinguishing fires themselves before calling the fire department. If you should spot a brush fire your best action is to notify the Bellport Fire Department immediately by dialing 911. Homeowners living in proximity to woodland areas should take some landscaping and home maintenance steps to ensure safer surroundings.
Landscaping Tips- Keep grass around your home cut and watered.
- Remove dead and piled up vegetation from your property.
- Store firewood away from structures.
- Plants trees and shrubs with room to grow. The distance from tree to house should
always be greater than the height of the tree.
- Try not to use plants that develop dead undergrowth.
- Do not place plants too close to structures and under overhangs or eaves.
- Water often to keep plants healthy and green.
- Keep sprinkler systems in good working order.
- Trim dead wood off of trees.
Home Maintenance Tips
- Trash and debris should be properly disposed of. Piles of trash, old home furnishings, boxes and even cars are potential fire hazards.
- Store flammable liquids, and chemicals such fertilizer and pool chlorine properly.
- Always dispose of cigarettes carefully.
- Keep roofs clean and clear of leaves and dead branches.
