Jamestown Fire Department Thanks Community for Cooperation During Winter Storm
January 26, 2026 — The Jamestown Volunteer Fire Department expressed its appreciation to residents for their patience, cooperation, and community-minded efforts during and after the recent winter storm. Department officials specifically thanked the public for adhering to local and state parking bans and heeding weather advisories, which played a critical role in allowing emergency vehicles and public works crews to operate safely and efficiently throughout the storm.
As cleanup efforts continue across the island, the department is asking residents to take a few additional steps to help maintain public safety. Homeowners are encouraged, if able, to shovel out fire hydrants near their property and to check furnace, dryer, and other heating exhaust vents to ensure they are not blocked by snow. Clear hydrants can save valuable time during emergencies, while unobstructed vents help prevent the buildup of dangerous carbon monoxide inside homes. The Jamestown Fire Department thanked the community for its continued support and cooperation, emphasizing that these small actions make a meaningful difference in keeping residents, responders, and neighborhoods safe during winter conditions.
