The Cinnaminson Fire Department reminds residents not to use candles for light if the electric goes out. Flashlights or battery-operated lighting is much safer, Chief Bill Kramer said.

In addition, if you have a gasoline- or diesel-powered generator, do not use it inside any portion of a building, including garages or basements. Generators create large amounts of odorless and colorless carbon monoxide. If using a generator, only tie it into your home's electrical system if done so by a licensed electrician.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer with the Cinnaminson Fire Department, there are programs available for residents age 14 and up. Those interested can visit cinnaminsonfire.org for more information.

If you have any questions or concerns, or would like to arrange for a tour of one of the stations, call our business office at 856-829-5220 during normal business hours.
