As you change your clocks one hour ahead, this weekend, we we want to remind you to also check the following: 1. Test your smoke alarm by pressing the "Test" button to ensure it sounds. 2. Check the date of manufacture on the back of your smoke alarm. If it's 8 - 10 years old, it's at the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. 3. Run your vacuum over the grill to remove any dust to eliminate potential false activations. 4. Remember that a "chirp" every 60 seconds is your unit telling you that the batteries are low and need to be changed. 5. A series of three beeps followed by short pauses is your unit telling you that it detects smoke and you need to get out of the house. BFD wishes everyone a safe and happy Spring season!

Due to mechanical issues with trucks and staffing shortages, Republic Services was unable to complete all trash collection routes today (Friday). Any remaining collections will be completed early Monday morning.

If your regular collection day is Friday and your trash was not picked up, please remove your trash from the curb today and set it back out for Monday morning for pickup.

Thank you for your understanding, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
