Operating portable generators safely go hand in hand with having adequate Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarms in your home. CO is a silent killer and a working CO alarm my be your only alarm when deadly CO is present. Remember - NEVER NEVER operate a generator or any gas powered tool indoors. When in doubt, seek out the advice of your local fire department - we would rather answer your safety question and prevent the emergency.

There’s nothing like outdoor grilling on summer weekends.
It’s one of the most popular ways to cook food.
But, a grill placed too close to anything that can burn is a fire hazard.
Grills can be very hot, causing burn injuries.

GSVFD partners with our NoVa First Responders to remind everyone:

Please help everyone get home at the end of the day - both you and us - by remembering to "Move Over" and "Drive 2 Save Lives"

The law requires any drivers approaching an emergency vehicle that is displaying flashing, blinking or alternating blue, red or amber lights on a highway to proceed with caution. If possible, drivers should move into a lane not adjacent to the stationary vehicle.

If changing lanes is not possible, drivers should proceed with caution and maintain a safe speed for highway conditions.
