The Dillon Volunteer I-'ire De partment is joining the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and other safety advo cates this fall to remind children and adults about fire safety dur ing Fire Prevention Week. Octo ber 3-9. This year's theme, \It's Fire Prevention Week: Test Your Smoke Alarms,\ highlights the int- portancc of all families installing and maintaining smoke alarms in the home. The Dillon Volunteer Fire Department urges everyone to check your smoke alarms. Smoke alarms are the most effective early warning device available for the home. Since they were introduced to consumers in the 1970s, they have helped to reduce the home fire death rate by one half. Even though they are now widely popular, roughly 70 percent of home fire deaths re sult from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms. Fires can spread through a home rapidly, and in some eases, individuals may have as little as two minutes to escape to safety once the alarm sounds. Dillon Volunteer Fire Department en courages residents to keep smoke alarms working and to leave im mediately when a smoke alarm sounds. Here are some key smoke alarm installation and mainte nance tips: • Install at least one smoke alarm on every level of the home and outside each separate sleep ing area. • Mount smoke alarms on ceil ings or high walls. • Test smoke alarms once a month, following the manufacturer's instructions. • Replace batteries once a year or as soon as the device \chirps indicating that the battery is low. • Replace all smoke alarms after 10 years, even those that are hard-wired or smoke alarms with \long-life\ (10-year) batter ies. Smoke alarms with \long-life\ (l(l-ycar) batteries also need to be replaced when the alarm \chirps\ or fails to respond to pe riodic testing. The batteries in these units cannot be replaced. • Alarms that are hard-wired to the home's electrical system should be installed by a qualified electrician. Testing smoke alarms may sound like basic advice, but this lesson can save lives. All too of ten the presence of a working smoke alarm can mean the dif ference between life and death. But despite the fact that smoke alarms are now widely popular, roughly 70 percent of home fire deaths result from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no work ing smoke alarms. Because fire can spread through a home so quickly, it is essential that every one in your family be able to rec ognize the sound of the alarm, and has a plan for getting out safely. We’ve even got special smoke alarm tips for kids, older adults and people with disabilities. Smoke alarms are the fire safety success story of the 20th century, but they can't save your life if they're not working. Test your smoke alarm today. It could make all the difference. To learn more about Fire Pre vention Week, visit NFPA at www.firepreventionweek.org. NFPA has been the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week since 1922. The campaign’s pur pose is to raise public awareness about the dangers of fire, how to prevent it and how to be protected from it. Fire Prevention Week commemorates the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, in which more than 250 people died, 100,000 were left homeless and more than 17,400 structures were destroyed. Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on record, according to the NFPA. NFPA has been a worldwide leader in providing fire, electri cal, building, and life safety to the public since 1896. The mis sion of the international nonprofit organization is to reduce the worldwide burden of fire and other hazards on the quality of life by providing and advocating scientifically-based consensus codes and standards, research, training and education.

Have license when accessing State Lands When planning a hunting trip, it is important for hunters to be mindful of the regulations asso ciated with using State School Trust Land. Just a few tips: A $2 state lands access fee is now included in the $6 25 price of the FWP conservation license. This license replaces the $10 state lands recreational use license for hunting, fishing and trapping ac tivities on state lands. must have a State Lands Recre ational Use License for activities other than fishing and hunting on State School Trust Lands (more commonly referred to as state land). The license is $5 for those ages 12-17 and age 60 and older, for all others the license is $10. These licenses are available from any Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks regional office or license pro vider. The proceeds from each State Lands license sold help support Montana’s public schools. Know where state land bound aries lie: Maps showing desig nated state land tracts and road status are posted at DNRC, Bu reau of Land Management (BLM) and U.S. Forest Services offices statewide. Don't trespass: State lands are legally accessible if they can be reached from adjacent public lands or public roads. However, if you have to cross private prop erty to reach them, you need to get landowner permission. Also, not all tracts of State School Trust Land are open for recreational use. Watch where you drive The only roads open for vehicle use are public roads, such as county roads and state highways, and a few roads designated as open by DNRC Off road use is strictly prohibited lie fire conscious Hunters are urged to check current fire con ditions, and for any restrictions or closures that may be in place where they plan to hunt Hunters should have, at minimum, a bucket, axe and shovel with them before venturing out in the woods For details on these and other regulations, ask for the \Guide to Recreational Use of State Land,' available from license providers, at DNRC offices, FWP regional offices or by calling -141 1868 Those 12 years of age or older 'ÿ ÿ U V ' O ' Whitehall, MT Outdoor Sports, Antique & Art Show OCTOBER 9-10, 2 0 0 4 ----- BUY ★ SELL * TRADE Optics • Firearms • Western A W ildlife Art Jci/erson Antiques of Western Life * Hunting ( ¡ear i;,//(T /‘resents Clothing • Hooks • Ami Lots More' Hmh/ini > mi .V />/i t s u m S t <>H l . e n / n n ll i Saturday 9-6:00 - Sunday 9-3:00 S2 Admission tor Weekend Pass ( liiUhen I ’ N I miei I ree SPONSORED BY JEFFERSON RIVER CARRY OPTIONS LOOK FOR THE 2004 FAIR MEMORIES EDITION INSERTED IN THIS WEEK'S DILLON TRIBUNE.
