As we count down to the New Year, the Lapel Stony Creek Township Fire Territory wants to remind everyone to celebrate safely and responsibly. Here are a few friendly reminders to keep in mind:
When it comes to fireworks, remember they belong outside – not in your living room, garage, or trash can. Be cautious when cooking after midnight, especially if you’ve had a few drinks, as this can lead to smoke alarms going off. If you’re planning to celebrate, make sure to have a sober driver lined up, as the police will only be taking you to one destination. Candles can be a festive touch, but they can quickly become a fire hazard if not monitored. And remember, 911 is for emergencies only – not for reporting that your neighbor is having more fun than you.

As you make your New Year’s resolutions, consider adding these fire department-approved suggestions to your list:
* I will not attempt to microwave aluminum foil (again)
* I will stay awake long enough to turn off the stove after cooking
* I will stop using extension cords as a permanent wiring solution
* I will not try to deep-fry a turkey at midnight
* I will call a friend for a ride home instead of calling 911
* I will leave the fireworks to the professionals and enjoy the show from a safe distance
By following these simple tips, you can help ensure a safe, fun, and happy New Year. Let’s start 2026 on the right foot and avoid any unwanted visits from the Lapel Police Department or Madison County Sheriff.
