Quincy Firewise meets Wednesday

Submitted by Sally McGowan

Quincy Firewise is a local volunteer group making efforts to create a more fire aware and fire prepared community. We invite all Quincy residents, including those from surrounding areas and other Firewise Communities, to join us the last Wednesday of every month from 5-6 p.m. at the West End Theatre inside Quintopia.

In addition to monthly guest speakers, we provide up to date information on home/property insurance, evacuation preparedness, home hardening tips, and home ignition zone design.  We also offer Peer to Peer Home Consultation sign ups to assist your efforts in home hardening.

We are going to devote our October meeting to answering any questions you may have about gathering and submitting your QFW volunteer/investment hours. As many of you know, it is very easy to submit your hours using our online reporting tool. If you have questions or would like assistance, this Wednesday night at Quintopia is the place to be. Please consider asking a neighbor or friend if you can assist them in entering their data. We must submit our numbers to NFPA by Nov. 18 in order to renew our certification.

When:  Wednesday, Oct. 26 from 5-6 pm (meetings are scheduled the 4th Wednesday of every month)

Where:  West End Theatre inside of Quintopia
