State Fire Marshal urges fire safety to be part of holiday menu
Thanksgiving is just
around the corner, and
State Fire Marshal Jim
Walker wants to remind
Oregonians to add fire safe-
ty to their cooking and hol-
iday meal plans.
“The holiday is a time
to give thanks and enjoy
friends and family,” said
Walker. “By following ba-
sic fire-prevention tips, you
can keep yourself and loved
ones safe and avoid cook-
ing-related fires.”
In Oregon, cooking was
the leading known cause of
residential structure fires
over the past five years
(2013-17)
All told, there were 10
deaths in Oregon from resi-
dential cooking fires during
the past five years, or an
average of two deaths per
year.
Cooking safety tips:
• Don’t leave cooking
food on your stovetop un-
attended, especially when
frying and sautéing with
oil.
• While your turkey is
cooking, check on it fre-
quently.
• Use a timer to monitor
cooking times when sim-
mering, baking, or roast-
ing foods that require long
cooking times. Check the
stove or oven frequently.
• Remember to keep
items that may catch fire,
like oven mitts, wooden
utensils, food wrappers,
and towels, at least three
feet from the cooking area.
• Roll up your shirt
sleeves and avoid using
clothing that may come in
contact with open flames or
other heat sources.
• Don’t cook if you are
drinking alcohol or using
other substances that make
you drowsy.
• Keep children three
feet or more away from all
cooking areas, hot food,
and liquids to avoid burns.
• Keep pot and pan han-
dles turned inward on the
stove to avoid bumping
them and spilling hot foods.
• Heat cooking oil slowly
and never leave it unattend-
ed.
Make sure you have
smoke alarms on every lev-
el of your home, outside
each sleeping area, and in
every bedroom.
ReVision Florence project update for November
The ReVision Florence
Streetscape Project is still
under construction.
The estimated substan-
tial completion date for the
project has been extended
to Jan. 31. Moving into the
holiday season, expect to
see lighter crews the weeks
of Thanksgiving, Christ-
mas and New Year’s Day.
During these holiday
breaks, traffic control will
remain in place as needed
and the area will still be
considered an active con-
struction zone.
Continue to be cautious
in the area as it will remain
an active construction zone
through the completion of
the project.
Highway 101 Paving Up-
date
Alex Hodge Construc-
tion (AHC) and their sub-
contractors have paved the
majority of the travel lanes
for U.S. 101 between the
Siuslaw River Bridge and
the OR126/U.S. 101 junc-
tion. AHC will be paving
the outer parking and bike
lanes on the eastside of U.S.
101 over the next month as
new curb and gutters are
completed.
They will also be com-
pleting the paving around
driveway aprons and where
U.S. 101 intersects local
side streets. The U.S. 101/
OR126 junction will be re-
paved separately as it will
require additional traffic
control in order to com-
plete. Notice of paving op-
erations will be provided
when the specific dates and
times are scheduled.
Recently Asked Questions
• Debris Pile: During the
construction project, AHC
has had an agreement with
the Florence Urban Renew-
al Agency and the City of
Florence to use the Quince
Street property (Across
from the FEC) for its job
site and staging. Over the
next few months, AHC
will be removing the debris
pile from the Quince Street
staging site.
• Landscaping: The land-
scapers are finishing the
construction of the irriga-
tion system and will be-
gin the plantings after the
Thanksgiving holiday. This
will include the abatement
of the weeds that have
grown in these areas.
• Driveways & Side
Streets: As paving is com-
pleted, the contractor will
be completing the con-
nection work of newly
constructed and existing
driveways. The local street
approaches will also be
paved to create a smooth
transition between the side
streets and the highway.
• Gateway Monuments:
The Florence Urban Re-
newal Agency (FURA) will
be going out to bid for the
construction of the gate-
way monuments at Maple
and Quince streets in early
2020. The FURA Board an-
ticipates considering con-
tract award at the February
2020 Board meeting.
