Readsboro Fire Department
Please remember to keep hydrant area free of snow. Remember you can order a reflective address marker from the fire department auxiliary ~ because if they can’t find you, they can’t help you.
Fire Retardant Sleepwear
It’s important for all parents to read children’s clothing labels before bed to ensure that they are wearing only fire-retardant sleepwear overnight.
FEMA also highlights one often-overlooked area that can greatly impact family fire safety: children’s sleepwear. New legislation was passed in the 1970s through the Flammable Fabrics Act that required all children’s sleepwear to be flame retardant. This small measure helped to reduce related deaths and injuries by 95%. However, many families often put children to sleep in light garments, like T-shirts and jerseys. Although this type of children’s clothing may be comfortable enough to sleep in, it is not likely to be fire retardant.
Independence 2026 Celebration
Save the date!!!!! Saturday, June 27, 2026
Another year has passed and it’s time to plan for this year’s big celebration. As most of you know this great celebration of ours is run solely by volunteers and the fundraising that they do all year long. Without the support of the community, none of this would be possible. Special thanks to everyone that has helped to make it a continued success. Thank you to our advertisers for their support and to those who help with donations. Want to help make our Independence Day Celebration a success? Become a volunteer and join the committee! Call Cyndi 413-652-4512 or Earlene 423-7080. We have a full schedule of fun activities for the entire family to enjoy. Volunteer for the day or just for a couple of hours, or volunteer during the 4th of July celebration. There are so many things to do and plan and your help would be greatly appreciated
