      <title>Taneytown Volunteer Fire Company Wants To Remind Citizens To Dig Out Hydrants</title>
      <link>http://www.tvfc5.org/apps/public/news/newsView.cfm?News_ID=70</link>
      <description><![CDATA[REMINDER:  As the weather seems to have turned colder the Taneytown Volunteer Fire Company wants to remind you in the event of a snow storm to dig out those hydrants in front of, or near your property.  As the snow is pushed back off the streets and the sidewalks are cleared, we remind everyone that there is one more important item to dig out.  In the event of a fire, we need to be able to locate, and hook up to the nearest available hydrant.  If we have to search and then dig out those hydrants it will add valuable minutes to the job of extinguishing a fire.  So remember, PLEASE take a few extra minutes and dig out those fire hydrants closest to you and your neighbors property.  Thank you!<br><br><img src="http://www.tvfc5.org/files/news/70/20150306_141223 (2)_thumb.jpg">]]></description>

      <title>Fire Safety Tips For Winter Heating</title>
      <link>http://www.tvfc5.org/apps/public/news/newsView.cfm?News_ID=81</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Here are some statistics to think about when heating your home this winter:
•	905 people die in winter home fires each year.
•	$2,091,000,000 in property loss occurs from winter home fires.
•	67 percent of winter fires occur in one- and two-family homes.
•	Cooking is the leading cause of all winter home fires.
•	5 to 8 p.m. is the most common time for winter home fires.
Source: National Fire Incident Reporting System 2009-2011

Below is a list of things you should do before starting your chimney for the season:

•	Have the chimney checked by a chimney professional.
•	Know how to operate the fireplace or stove.
•	Have the right hearth tools and equipment.
•	Check your home&amp;apos;s fire safety equipment. 
For the sake of fire safety, have your chimney checked at least once each year by a chimney professional. Your chimney professional will check to see if the chimney requires cleaning, and will also check for unsafe conditions in the chimney.
