You changed your clocks . . .did you change your batteries?
Twice a year we change our clocks to adjust for daylight, which is a perfect time to be changing the batteries in our SMOKE DETECTORS and CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS. Especially with the winter fast approaching, MAKE SURE your fire detection equipment works.  More lives are saved in homes that are prepared for the worst.  Keep a watch on our Fire Education page to learn some simple ways to maximize life and property safety this winter.

Rude Awakening  See the photos here.
Some New Milford residents were called home after neighbors reported that a tree fell on a house. The 75 ft. tree's roots had weakened and finally given out after the wettest October on record.  The story even made the news, appearing on TV channels CBS 2, ABC 7, UPN 9, WB 11, and Cablevision 12. Other damage sustained around town from the rain included sink holes like the one below.
