District News

With Daylight Saving Time beginning Sunday, March 8, Enfield Fire District No. 1 reminds residents to change their clocks ahead one hour and check their smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors.

Working alarms provide early warning during a fire or CO emergency, giving residents the time they need to get out safely. Residents should test each alarm, replace batteries if needed and make sure alarms are installed on every level of the home and outside sleeping areas.

According to the National Fire Protection Association, about three out of five fire deaths nationwide occur in homes where smoke alarms are missing or not working. Fire officials recommend replacing smoke alarms every 10 years and checking the manufacturing date printed on the back of each device. CO alarms typically need replacement every five, seven, or 10 years depending on the model.

The Enfield Fire District No. 1 February Commission Meeting that was scheduled for Thursday, February 12, 2026 at 6:30 p.m. at Fire Station No. 1, 200 Phoenix Avenue is now canceled and will be rescheduled.
