Hollis, NH — December 1 — The Hollis NH Fire Department at 10 Glenice Drive is warning people to prepare for the upcoming winter predicted. To avoid carbon monoxide buildup inside homes, fire officials recommend removing snow and ice from appliance, dryer, and furnace vents. Residents using generators during outages are asked to run them outdoors, at least 20 feet from openings, and to avoid overloading them. The government also suggests charging phones and keeping flashlights and batteries available in case of power disruption. If the state of the roads becomes dangerous, travel should be restricted. Strong winter storms can put a strain on emergency resources, according to firefighters, so planning beforehand is crucial for community safety. The department advises locals to call 911 in case of an emergency and to watch out for their neighbors.
