Bradley Fire Station RemodelBradley Fire Station Remodel

The remodel of Station 750 in Bradley is set to begin on March 2nd.  The process should last 60-90 days and is intended to create sleeping quarters for the firefighters stationed there as well as several much needed upgrades.  Crews will continue to utilize a leased home nearby for their sleeping quarters until renovations are complete. Once complete and the crews are operating out of the fire station on a 24/7 basis, response times should improve since the travel time between the leased home and the fire station will be eliminated.

Most homes have a multitude of electrical appliances ranging from small kitchen items such as toasters and microwaves to major appliances like clothes dryers and dishwashers. While appliances make our lives much easier, they also pose significant risks - including fire - if not maintained properly. Appliance fire safety is a matter of keeping your appliances in good working order, as well as using them as they were intended. The average homeowner has several thousand dollars invested in appliances. To protect your investment and to avoid the potential risk of fire, find out what to check for to ensure your appliances don't put you or your family at risk.
