Fire Department offers
healthy home tips
LYNNFIELD — The
Lynnfield Fire Department
(LFD), in conjunction with
A Healthy Lynnfield, the
town’s Council on Aging,
and the Lynnfield Rotary
Club, has expanded its
safety services for the town’s
seniors.
The program consists of
five components:
The already successful
Lockbox program will continue
to be offered in conjunction
with the Lynnfield
Senior Center and Lynnfield
Rotary Club. This is an excellent
way to provide first
responders fast access to
your home in the case of an
emergency.
To apply for a lockbox,
contact Ron Block with the
Lynnfield Rotary at 781-
334-2036 or by email at
Ronblock1@verizon.net.
Mr. Block will take your application
and forward it to
LFD for installation.
While at your home, members
of the Lynnfield Fire
Department will, if you
choose, conduct a home
safety survey. This is not an
inspection and will have no
negative impact on you. We
will simply walk through
the house and look for items
such as: trip hazards, poor
lighting, extension cord
usage, medications left out,
smoke detector test and batteries,
etc. Our members
will then discuss with you
what they found and make
recommendations.
File of life cards can
be picked up at both the
Lynnfield Fire Department
as well as the Senior Center.
These cards let you fill in
patient information such as
medical history, allergies and
medications as well as other
pertinent information EMTs
and paramedics may need in
the event of an emergency,
and if the patient is unable to
communicate with us. This
card is left in an identifiable
red sleeve that is put on the
refrigerator, and first responders
know to look there.
Disposing of medications
is now easier and safer
with our disposable bagging
system. These can be
picked up at the fire department
headquarters as well as
through A Healthy Lynnfield.
Simply dispose of unwanted
medications (not sharps) into
the bag and seal and shake. It
is then safe to dispose of in
the trash.
Unattended medications
can be inviting to unwanted
eyes. Small children are especially
likely to be curious.
Keep your medications safe
and secure in one of our
lockable medication storage
boxes. With the efforts of A
Healthy Lynnfield, who secured
the funding and boxes,
these can now be picked up
at the fire headquarters.
Residents can utilize any
individual component, or
all five. There are no fees
for these services, with the
exception of the lockboxes.
The lockbox fee will be determined
at the time of application
and may range from
free to $35.
