As we set our clocks back for Daylight Saving Time, it’s a great reminder to ensure your home is equipped with functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Taking a few simple steps can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and save lives.
To guarantee your safety, follow these essential checks:
✅ Replace the batteries in all smoke and CO alarms, even if they appear to be working properly. This simple step can be the difference between life and death.
✅ Test your alarms by pressing the test button to confirm they’re sounding correctly.
✅ Check the expiration dates of your smoke detectors and CO alarms. Smoke detectors typically need to be replaced every 10 years, while CO alarms should be replaced every 5-7 years, depending on the manufacturer’s guidelines.
✅ Ensure you have working alarms on every level of your home, both inside and outside sleeping areas. This comprehensive coverage can provide peace of mind and protect your loved ones.
By following these straightforward steps, you can drastically reduce the risk of fatalities in home fires. In fact, a working smoke detector can cut your risk of dying in a home fire in half. Take a moment to prioritize your safety and the safety of those around you – it could be a lifesaving decision.

Happy Halloween from Lapel Stony Creek Township Fire Territory. As you prepare for a night of spooky fun and treats, our firefighters want to remind you to prioritize safety. Before you head out for trick-or-treating, keep the following Halloween safety tips in mind:
To ensure a visible and safe experience, use flashlights or glow sticks to make yourself noticeable to drivers. When navigating through neighborhoods, stick to sidewalks and cross streets at corners, avoiding the area between parked cars.
Costume safety is also crucial, so make sure your costume fits well to prevent trips and falls. Opt for flame-resistant materials and consider adding reflective tape to increase visibility.
After collecting your treats, wait until you’re home and an adult has checked all candy before eating. If you’re driving tonight, be cautious and slow down, watching for little ghosts and goblins.
From all of us at Lapel Stony Creek Township Fire Territory, we wish you a safe and fun Halloween night. Remember to stay safe and have a howling good time. #HappyHalloween #FireSafety #LapelFire #CommunityFirst #TrickOrTreat

Pendleton, IN – Two critically endangered tortoises stolen from the Indianapolis Zoo have been found safe in Pendleton — just minutes from Lapel — after nearly two weeks missing.
Pendleton police say the tortoises were discovered around 4:00 p.m. Tuesday inside a cardboard box near the museum walkway at Falls Park. A note referencing the Indianapolis Zoo was taped to the box. Officers confirmed the tortoises’ identities through microchip scans and contacted zoo officials immediately.
“We’re incredibly relieved and grateful to everyone who helped bring these animals home safely,” said an Indianapolis Zoo spokesperson. “Their recovery is a huge win for conservation and community awareness.”
The recovered animals include an Egyptian tortoise and a Northern Spider tortoise — both listed as critically endangered species. Zoo officials believe the theft occurred between October 11 and October 12, 2025. Each tortoise was microchipped for identification, and the Egyptian tortoise has a distinct scar on its underside that helped confirm its identity.
Authorities have not released any suspect information at this time. The case remains under investigation by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department with assistance from the FBI and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of Inspector General. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact local law enforcement.
While the theft occurred in Indianapolis, the fact that the animals were found in Pendleton — less than ten minutes from Lapel — has brought the story close to home. Local residents in Madison County have expressed both relief and pride in how quickly authorities acted.
This incident also highlights how small-town vigilance and awareness can play a big role in protecting wildlife. The Falls Park discovery underscores that conservation isn’t just a global issue — it’s something that can happen right here in our own backyards.
The tortoises are now back under the care of the Indianapolis Zoo, where they will undergo health checks before being reintroduced to their exhibit. Zoo staff say they will continue reviewing security measures to prevent future incidents.
Firefighters from the Lapel Stony Creek Township Fire Territory spent the day at Lapel Middle School, teaching 8th grade students crucial fire safety lessons. The students learned how to properly use a fire extinguisher, including when and how to operate it. They also discovered the different classes of fires and how to handle each one safely.
The importance of working smoke detectors in every home was emphasized, as well as the life-saving benefits of sleeping with bedroom doors closed. Students even got to experience what it’s like to be inside a smoke-filled room and learned how to react safely in such situations. Additionally, they learned how to recognize and prevent electrical hazards around the house.
The goal of this fire prevention education is to ensure every student knows how to stay safe and help protect their families from fire emergencies. Thanks to the partnership with Lapel Middle School, the community is now safer and more informed. A huge thank you to Lapel Middle School for collaborating with the fire department to make this possible.
