Welcome to Lyndon Fire & Rescue online!
With the amount of home fires on the rise in the metro area lately, we remind everyone to exercise extreme caution when it comes to using space heaters and candles.
Remember that it is essential to properly maintain and operate space heaters, and to keep them away from flammable materials.
In addition, never leave burning candles unattended. Remember: When you go out, blow it out.
