Throughout the year and especially during the holiday season, cooking is the leading cause of fire injuries. Older adults are at greater risk. Stand by Your Pan to prevent cooking fires and Put a Lid on It to safely put cooking fires out.

Check if your address is properly posted and meet the requirements of Ipswich's street number by-law. Too often fire, police and ambulance service is delayed finding an address because the address number is either not posted or is not visible from the street from both directions. Please take a moment and check. It is the law in Ipswich and could save a life!

The open burning season has ended. Only burning for agricultural purposes is allowed. An agricultural open burning permit is required.
