Teams of O.W.L. V.F.D members visited 55 homes Saturday, in the River Ridge community to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors and change batteries. Residents were ready, with new batteries in hand and open doors to welcome the fire fighters. In all, they found and replaced 6 faulty smoke detectors.
Occoquan-Woodbridge-Lorton Volunteer Fire Department reminds residents that one easy step can help save their lives and the lives of those around them. Twice a year, (when clocks move forward or back,) change the batteries in their own smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, test the alarms and remind friends, family, neighbors and fellow community members to do the same. (the fall date had to be rescheduled due to inclement weather.)
