On November 10, 2016 Kiddee issued a recall notice for NightHawk combination smoke-carbonmonoxide alarms. The alarm can fail to continue to chirp when it reaches its seven year end of life if the batteries are replaced, leading consumers to believe it is still working. This poses a risk to consumers being alerted to a fire or CO incident in their home.
It is recommended that the units be replaced. Kidde can be contated at 855.239.0490 for additional information.

Members of both the Oldwick and Pottersville Fire Companys donned turnout gear and air packs and played dodge ball Monday night. While a fun time was had by all, the exercise reviewed turnout gear and air pack safety. This personnel protective equipment is used in most all fire events. Playing dodge ball with turnout gear and an air pack is a bit different as movement and visibility is encumbered. The exercise also illustrates the length of time an air pack bottle will last with a high level of activity.
