Long Ridge Fire Company

Today we got to take part, alongside Stamford Fire Rescue and Stamford Hospital, in an assembly at West Hill regarding driving while under the influence and the repercussions of them.

We also spoke to students about their interest in joining their local volunteer houses, as Stamford has five. We appreciate their interest and look forward to seeing them in the future.

Big thanks to the Stamford Volunteer Firefighters for having me.

And I’ll say it straight, you guys asked the right questions. Not the easy ones… the ones that actually matter.

That’s how you get better.
That’s how you stay ahead of the job.

Respect.

Work smart…work safe…train often…train safe!

As a blizzard warning is in effect for Stamford from 1:00 PM Sunday (2/22) through 6:00 PM Monday (2/23), the Long Ridge Fire Company reminds our North Stamford neighbors to stay safe and prepared.

With up to 20 inches of snow and wind gusts reaching 50 mph expected, here is a critical tip to help us help you:

❄️ Shovel Out Your Fire Hydrant
If you have a fire hydrant near your home, please shovel a 3-foot perimeter around it and clear a path to the roadway.

• Why it matters: In deep snow and drifting conditions, hydrants can become completely buried. In an emergency, every second spent by firefighters searching for and digging out a hydrant is a second lost in saving a home.

• Pro Tip: While you’re out there, check your furnace and dryer vents. Clear away snow buildup to prevent dangerous carbon monoxide from backing up into your house.

Important Community Reminders:

• Snow Emergency: Mayor Simmons has declared a Snow Emergency through Wednesday morning. Please move vehicles off the streets or follow "alternate side" parking rules to let the plows do their work.

• Stay Off the Roads: Blizzard conditions will make travel extremely hazardous. Stay home and stay warm.

• Generator Safety: Never run a generator indoors or in a garage. Keep it at least 20 feet from your home and away from windows/doors.

Stay safe, Stamford! If you have an emergency, dial 911. For non-emergent fire safety questions, you can reach the Long Ridge Fire Company at (203) 322-5200.
