Miami Council Asks Residents to Help With Fire Prevention

The Miami Town Council has issued a press release concerning the current fire protection situation. The Council says it is doing everything it can to ensure the most efficient fire protection possible while protecting the assets and financial abilities of the town. The Town of Miami has enlisted the cooperation of the City of Globe and the Globe Fire Department. Globe Fire Department is monitoring and testing the fire hydrants within the town limits and will conduct fire inspections. The Council says it is working to either establish a new agreement with Tri City Fire Department or set up a local volunteer fire department. In the meantime, they ask Miami residents to do everything they can to minimize the potential for fires. This includes clearing away dry foliage, undergrowth or piles of debris that may be close to your home or a structure. Report fire hazards to the Town Hall or Miami Police Department. The Council also urges you to make sure you have a working fire alarm system in your home and to create a plan for emergency evacuation in case of fire.
