The choices you make matter. Education matters. Relationships matter. If you'd like to be part of this...please bring a framed picture (color and style is up to you) of you being a success story!

Leeds Fire & Rescue News

Hi everybody, this is Chuck Parsons, Fire Chief for the City of Leeds Fire Department here for some safety tips for the springtime. We know spring’s coming around and we'll be using lawnmowers, weed eaters, and picking up debris around the house so I’ve got some safe tips for you. In this video, we will cover: - GASOLINE SAFETY - YEAR-ROUND NO BURN ORDINANCE - GRILLING SAFETY - KEEP DEBRIS AWAY FROM YOUR HOME - CHECK SMOKE DETECTORS REGULARLY - CHECK CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS REGULARLY, TOO! - HAVE HOME EMERGENCY PLAN IN CASE OF FIRE - LEEDS FIRE DEPARTMENT CAN HELP YOU WITH SMOKE DETECTORS. If you need smoke detectors or you need us to check them, call us. We have smoke detectors through grants from the Red Cross and Alabama Fire College. You can ask us to come check your smoke detectors or you would like smoke detectors installed and we'll arrange to have that done. There's a number you can call: 205-699-2581, listen for the options, the first thing it's going to say is IF YOU HAVE AN EMERGENCY, CALL 9-1-1. It's going to list options for different departments, listen for the fire department, and choose that option for the fire department. If we do not answer that number, leave a message. THAT IS NOT AN EMERGENCY NUMBER. It’s an admin non-emergency number for us so when we're out on calls or doing things, sometimes, we're not able to answer that number, leave a message.

So, our chess tournament at the Leeds Jane Culbreth Library on March 26, 2024, will be a "regular" not-rated chess tournament. I will have new flyers out later today. Thank you, for understanding. I am still in need of sponsors for the awards since this is a FREE tournament. Come join us on Tuesday from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm for Chess Club.
