🛑 Your family’s safety depends on the choices you make today. Test your smoke alarms every month and replace them every 10 years to ensure they’re ready to protect when it matters. Don’t wait for a fire to find out they don’t work—take action now. #FirePreventionWeek

Retired PC Meers took a break from his hike of the Appalachian Trail to visit KFR Crews today.  🪓 During his visit, DC Donaldson, DC Carter, and ADC Carscallen had the privilege of presenting Tom with his ceremonial retirement axe.  Congrats and best of luck on your next trip!
