Fire Department encourages Long Weekend safety

Whether it be camping, a barbeque or re-opening the camp for the summer, the Long Weekend is upon us and the KV Fire Department is urging safety in all activities.

Chief Bill Ireland tells CHSJ News, it only takes a minute for something to go wrong.

Ireland says if your firing up the barbeque for the first time, make sure you give the soap and water test to all hoses.

If you see any bubbles, that means you have a leak and it needs to be replaced.

Ireland adds if you are camping and plan to have an open fire, keep something close by to put it out as it has been a dry spring.
