Wow! It’s September already and Fall is just around the corner. The members of the Show Low Fire District hope that all of our year round residents and visitors had a safe and happy summer in the White Mountains.

Here at Show Low Fire we are gearing up for another busy month of Fire Prevention. Every October, the Show Low Fire Department makes contact with approximately 2000 pre-school and school age young people and talks to them about fire prevention and what to do in an emergency.

Our Public Safety Open House is coming up on Saturday, October 2nd and it runs from 10 am. to 2 pm. Every year our Open House gets bigger and better.

The Show Low Police Department and Show Low Fire Department put on several displays and exhibits for all to see.

Free Pepsi, Hot Dogs and Popcorn, games for the kids and fire safety information are a few of the events.

Here are some of the events planned:

  • Show Low Fire Pipe and Drums will be doing a flag presentation at noon.
  • Air Evac will be on site with their helicopter and flight crew.
  • There will be multiple demonstrations by fire and police including, but not limited to an Air Rescue Firefighting simulation
  • Animal Control demonstrating their animal saving techniques.
  • A vehicle accident simulation with extrication.
  • A K-9 demonstration involving a bad guy being taken down by the K-9 officer.
  • A Hazardous-Materials demonstration.
  • A Tazer demonstration (any volunteers?).
  • The Show Low Police have an SRT Team (special response team) that will put on a demonstration and the
  • Show Low Fire department will demonstrate how to mitigate a propane fire.

There is so much to see and do at our Public Safety Open House.

Please plan on coming out and spending a few hours (10-2) with the people who come to help you when you are having a bad day!

The weather is warming and it’s time for family gatherings and grilling outdoors! The Show Low Fire District and it’s members would like to share a few safety tips, to keep you safe this grilling season.

  • Never use a grill indoors, including garages, overhangs and canopies
  • By law -grills must be at least 30 feet away from any multi-family apartment dwelling.
  • When using a grill at your single family home – homeowners should use a 10 – foot perimeter from anything combustible – Including your house!
  • Do not allow children or pets to play near a grill.
  • Keep a fire extinguisher, garden hose or bucket of sand nearby to douse a grill fire
  • Inspect your grill before you ignite to ensure everything is in working order.
  • Never leave a barbecue unattended.

These are just a few safety tips for being safe this grilling season. In the White Mountains, charcoal barbecues are not aloud during “red-flag” conditions. Due to the danger of high winds and lack of precipitation. Please check with your local fire department, if you have any questions about “red-flag” conditions.
Be Safe, Love Much, Laugh Often.
