1. Southbury Fire Marshal's Office
The Office of the Fire Marshal issues or denies burning permits only after the following steps are taken:
1. Completion of the application form (EPAC rev. 3/02).
2. Payment of a $10 fee for such application and permit. (No deposit of cash or checks will take place until after the burning official inspects the burning site and issues or denies the permit.)
3. Inspection of the site by the burning official. Inspection may reveal the need for certain conditions to be met for burning to take place.

3. Mutual Aid-State of Connecticut, Southbury Training School Fire/EMS
Since 1940, the Southbury Training School (STS) Fire Department & Emergency Medical Services has served residents, staff and visitors throughout the STS campus.

The STS Fire Department is not only a full response fire service; it also operates as a CT Health Department Certified Mobile Intensive Care-Intermediate Ambulance service.
4. Southbury Volunteer Ambulance Association
In 1953 the Southbury Lions Club started Southbury Ambulance Association (SAA). The Lions Club members used their own funds to purchase a 1949 Packard ambulance. The Club later reimbursed them for this expense. Originally SAA was supported by the annual Ham and Bean Dinner held by the Lions Club and augmented by memorial contributions and donations. The ambulance was housed under the Briarwood, known for the coffee cup displayed on the roof. This establishment was later known as the Three Gables, and is now 88 Main Street South. In 1971, Henry Papperazo purchased a used ambulance from SAA in order to form the Heritage Village Ambulance Corporation. The purchase price was modest; only enough to render the transaction legal. Fred Gracy, a well-known member of SAA, was instrumental in assisting Heritage Village to begin with their new venture.

Carbon Monoxide Information from Yankee Gas
Carbon monoxide is odorless, colorless and tasteless, but very toxic. Whether you heat your home with oil, natural gas, propane, coal or wood, your heating system can produce carbon monoxide (CO) if it is not working properly or if it is inadequately vented. CO is also produced from internal combustion devices such as a car or small gasoline engines. Signs indicating the presence of carbon monoxide in the home include stuffy, stale or smelly air, very high humidity or soot coming from a fireplace or heating system.

Escape Planning for Senior Adults
Knowing what to do in the event of a fire is particularly important for older adults. At age 65, people are twice as likely to be killed or injured by fires compared to the population at large. And with our numbers growing every year - in the United States and Canada, adults age 65 and older make up about 12 percent of the population - it's essential to take the necessary steps to stay safe.
Gas appliance safety from Yankee Gas

Storm safety information from Connecticut Light and Power
Keep your distance from any downed power line, and report it to the police or fire department. Treat all wires — even those that are hanging or downed — as if they are "live" (energized). Don't drive over downed lines, and if a downed line is in or near water, keep your distance from the water, even a little puddle. And whether a power line is down or not, don't touch anything that might be in contact with it, such as a tree limb.
