To Our Community:
Regrettably we were informed today that our Christmas Tree supplier will not be able to fulfill our order this year due to a tree shortage. To our loyal customers we wanted to let you know ASAP so that you may plan accordingly for your holidays.

Your LOWVFD says, "This Thanksgiving it’s OK to really push your family’s buttons—TEST THE SMOKE ALARMS for those you LOVE."
Homes should have a working smoke alarm on every level of the house, including the basement – and one in every bedroom. If you have a fire, you will have less than three minutes to get out of your home before the smoke and fire gases become deadly based on live fire studies conducted by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the National Institute of Standard and Technology (NIST). The early warning given by smoke alarms provide you with extra time to escape, especially children and senior citizens who are most at risk and need extra seconds to get out safely.
All of us at Lake of the Woods Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company wish to thank the community for your generous contributions on November 16th and 17th.
Because of thoughtful people like yourselves, who recognize the growing number of neighbors who may be in need, we were able to collect 2300+ pounds of food and $1300+ dollars for the Wilderness food pantry.
FYI, 100% of all donations collected are given to the pantry because each and every donation has a positive impact on lives within our community.

Take a moment to refresh yourself and your family to the risks and potential sources of Carbon Monoxide. Many thanks to our friends at www.facebook.com/lowlinc who shared a portion of their McMurtry Award funds allowing us to purchase two portable CO detectors.
Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless, tasteless gas that kills more than 500 Americans every year. Never use generators, grills, camp stoves, or other gasoline or charcoal-burning devices inside your home, basement, or garage or near a window. If it’s cold, stay with friends or family or in a shelter. To learn more, call 1-800-CDC-INFO or visit www.cdc.gov/co
“Just take a minute, put yourself in our shoes. Y’all have families that you’re going home to and we all have families that we want to go home to,” said Jesse Smith, a Hanover firefighter
