Emergency Preparedness

Outdoor burning is currently not permitted in Pend Oreille County. The weather has finally turned to summer type weather. Please be careful this summer season as we experience moderate to high fire danger conditions.

» Smoke Detector Program

Finally, as in every season, have working smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, test them monthly and keep them clean and equipped with fresh batteries at all times. As our children learn from the time they start attending school, Smoke Detectors Save Lives! It is an unfortunate fact that many of our homes are not equipped with working smoke detectors. Through various grants, South Pend Oreille Fire and Rescue is able to provide smoke detectors and spare 9-volt batteries for district residents.

» FREE SMOKE DETECTOR » FREE 9-VOLT BATTERY » FREE INSTALLATION

One of the goals of these grant programs is to provide working smoke detectors, free of charge, for homes in our community. Along with working smoke detectors, we encourage our community residents to practice fire safety and have a home fire escape plan. Know when and how to call for help. And remember to practice your home escape plan.

» Public Education Workshops Online

The community that is protected by South Pend Oreille Fire and Rescue is growing and diverse. The need to continually improve our public education delivery to the community is ever present. SPOFR is now developing online workshops designed to provide basic fire prevention and life safety information through the Internet.
