SUPERIOR NEWS Volume Issue
Keeping it Clean These days I am reminded of my late Mothers
constant preaching to wash my hands before dinner!
Here in the Fire Department we are constantly thinking
about exposure to a wide variety of bad stuff coming
from fires, vehicles and dangerous loads. Bad stuff is
all around us in household furnishings, train cars, Semi’s
and even dangerous drugs of all kinds. We wash our
protective gear to prevent build carcinogens including
our protective hoods that trap products of combustion
around our necks. We spray the cabs of our engines down
frequently with sanitizer disinfectant to reduce germs
spreading between our crews.
Enter Covid-19 and with all the modern day
recommended precautions, Mom’s old advice comes
hauntingly back. Yep ….simple stuff like wash your
hands frequently. Don’t spit on your sister. Cover your
mouth when you need to sneeze and use a Kleenex for
heaven’s sake. Put the dirty clothes in the laundry and
change your socks. Took me a lifetime of living to realize
the impact of Mom’s advice for cleanliness but simple
stuff can make a meaningful difference today for us all.

Plastic bags --- Plastic bags are NOT recyclable at this recycle center.
Donations are always welcomed but Superior Town residents pay town taxes already and some of that is going toward this recycling center, so donations are not necessary. County residents, any size donation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all.
We appreciate that the recycle bin has been sponsored by several area businesses, however as more people use this bin, there will need to be more times we switch-out (pull) the bin. Each time the bin is pulled, the town is billed for that bin. Additional donations will ensure that this service will remain available. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to use the bin.

CHRISTMAS TREE SAFETY
Dried out Christmas trees are a serious fire hazard. Identity the tree’s condition
before purchasing the tree.
Needles should be green and flexible. If you can break them easily, they are
dried out. Bounce the tree on the ground on its trunk. If a lot of needles fall off,
it is dried out.
Don’t keep the tree up too long, as it dries out it becomes more of a fire hazard.
Keep the stand filled with water at all times. Do not set a tree up near a heat
source, including heating ducts and fireplaces.
Dispose of the tree properly. Do not put branches or needles in a fireplace or
woodstove.
If you are using an artificial tree, make sure is flame retardant.
