Is Your Smoke Alarm Working?
More Americans have smoke alarms than ever before. But nearly half don't work.
Flu season approaching; get your shots!
Flu season is fast approaching.
Influenza (flu) is a highly contagious
viral illness which can last from two
to seven days. Flu germs are spread
through the air by droplets from the
respiratory tract of infected persons
by coughing, sneezing, and talking
and also by direct contact. Symp
toms of flue include fever, headache,
dry cough, and sore, achy muscles.
Area residents and employees are
urged not to be caught off guard. A
flu shot is needed every year because
the strains of influenza are different
each year. The flu shot is especially
recommended for all persons 65 and
older.anyadultorchildwithachronic

October is Fire Prevention Month
by Karla Tiai
Firs Prevention Officer
October is fire prevention month,
we have been working hard to get as
much information out as possible.
This year the theme for fire
prevention is "Know When To Go".
We put on a puppet show at the
Elementary School during one of the
award assembly and it seemed to be
a hit, the kids were clapping and
signing with the puppets. There will
be another puppet snow put on at the
ECE. WE are also visiting all the
Kindergarten classes, for individual
class lessons. Some of the 3rd and
4th graders will be drawing fire
escape plans for their homes. I need
help from the parents to practice the
escape plans once there made, and
don't forget to have a meeting place
after leaving your home.
Fire Management has been getting
a lot of the controlled burning done
around the reservation. So remember
that if you see smoke and are not sure
if its a wildfire or a controlled burn
you can call to fire and safety or fire
management to find out. Fire season
officially ended on October 10th
which means the fire precaution

Without a working smoke alarm as an
early warning device, fire can spread
unnoticed through the household, blocking
escape routes and filling rooms with deadly
smoke.
Make sure you're protected. Start a
lifesaving habit this October 26. When you
change your clock from daylight-saving
time, change the batteries in your smoke
alarms.

ous locations on the reservation. You
may come to any site that is most
convenient for you. There is no charge

levels have gone down and all of
permit burning is allowed, be sure to
follow (he instructions on the back of
the permit. Its also a good idea to call
and let us know the day you are
burning.
Everybody is turning on the
furnaces and firing up the wood
stoves. It you need information on
where you can get your wood stove
cleaned and serviced, check the phone
book or call housing department.
They usually have information on a
local chimney sweep. Do not burn
everyday garbage in your wood stove,
some plastics and other packaging
materials put off gases that could
make you very sick from breathing
the fumes. It could also cause a faster
build up of creosote in the pipe and
start a chimney fire.
Halloween is also just around the
corner, lets keep it safe this year and
remember: 1) Always trick or treat
with a partner; 2) Wear bright colored
costume; 3) Watch out for cars, while
crossing the street 4) Carry a
flashlight (so you can see, and you
can be seen); 5) Check the treats
before eating them.

Woodstove and
Fireplace safety
Have your chimney and fireplace
cleaned and inspected yearly for
creosote build-up, cracks, crumbling
bricks and obstructions by a certified
chimney sweep.
Place ashes outdoors in a covered
metal container at least three feet
away from anything that burns.
A flue fire can ruin your chimney
or stovepipe. To prevent flue fires,
burn dry, well seasoned wood. Burn
small hot fires. Don't burn trash.
Always use a fireplace screen
made of sturdy metal or heat
tempered glass to prevent sparks from
escaping. (If children are present,
use a special child-guard screen as a
barrier for your woodstove).
