DEPARTMENT WISHES A SAFE, HAPPY
HOLIDAY SEASON TO EVERYONE!!!!
Don't forget Santa is making a list and checking it
twice! And, you should too...m ake a safety list
that is. Is your home ready for the holidays?
“ Johnny Law ” Report
It's sad but true. There m ay actually be a
thief som ew here in the Butte Falls area.
Som ebody has stolen som e construction
m aterials and I w ould like to give you the
opportunity to help m e figure out "w ho done
it." This m ay not be as exciting as solving the
crim es show n on "Am erica's M ost W anted"
television show . However, if you happen to
see som eone w ith a recently acquired
reddish-orange step ladder bearing the
initials "D W T," you probably have seen a
thief. If you happen to see som eone w ith
recently acquired bundles of #9076 Evergreen
Blend C ertainTeed XT30 roofing shingles, you
m ay have seen a thief. If you have seen
som eone w ith a new stack of 2X6 lum ber of
8', 10' and 12' lengths w ith the date "CHI
10-07-02" stam ped on each piece, you m ay
have seen a thief. If so, it w ould be great if
□ som ehow you could let m e know about it. You
can rem ain anonym ous if you w ish by leaving

and ready for Santa.
Double check electrical outlets and
cords.
Never leave Christmas tree lights on and
unattended.
Don't place Christmas tree close to
anything with an open flame or hot like
fireplaces, wood stoves, heating vents,
candles or space heaters. Keep it
watered to extend tree freshness.
Double check fire alarm batteries and fire
extinguishers.
Review home safety & evacuation plan
with fam ily members.
Leave cookies and m ilk for Santa (and
Fire Chief Martin, tool).
On another note, I hope each of you had a
great Thanksgiving Day and I w ish you joy
and blessings at C hristm as.
