Fire -

The Clinton Fire Department responded to a garbage truck that had something "off gassing" from inside the compactor. Hazmat technicians with the department suited up and identified the household chemicals that had mixed as the trash was being compacted. Emergency crews were able to mitigate the situation and neutralize the chemicals. An environmental restoration contractor gathered  the material and properly disposed of it with no environmental impact. No citizens were displaced and the released materials were contained to the area in the roadway around the truck. The Clinton Firefighters were assisted by the Clinton Police Department, Anderson County EMA,TEMA as well as a hazmat crew from Y-12 Fire Department. The Clinton Fire Department would like to remind the public to properly dispose of all chemicals, and not add them to ordinary garbage in your trash can. Household chemicals have potential to become hazardous if mixed with other substances. Guidance can be found online for proper disposal of unused chemicals.

Cooking is, by far, the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Turn pot handles toward the back of the stove so that no one can bump them or pull them over. Keep a pan lid or baking sheet nearby. Use it to cover the pan if it catches on fire. This will put out the fire.

The City of Clinton Fire Department was honored to host the blessing of the now open "Baby box". As the fire department has been a beacon of hope for our community for many years, the newly installed Baby box will stand as a beacon of hope to a mother who may feel like they are out of options. This Baby box offers the mother a guilt free, question free option to ensure their child can be safe and cared for. The City of Clinton is truly grateful to the many community partners that made this project a reality for our community. Please help us share this information to ensure that everyone knows of this life saving option for a new mother that may be overwhelmed with her situation.

Cooking is, by far, the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Stand by your pan. If you leave the kitchen, turn the burner off. Watch what you are cooking. Fires start when the heat is too high. If you see any smoke or the grease starts to boil, turn the burner off.

Fire moves fast. Plan ahead to save lives. Watch to see how quickly fire and toxic smoke can spread through your home leaving you with three minutes or less to escape. There won't be time to plan a way out in the moment. Don't wait, plan ahead.
