7 <br />UPDATES FROM FIRE CHIEF Chief Jim Compton Jr. <br />jrcompton@ci.hugo.mn.us <br />HUGO FIRE DEPARTMENT ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE <br />You are invited to the Fire Department Open <br />House on Saturday, October 7, 2023 from <br />11:00 am to 3:00pm at the Hugo Fire Station. <br />OPEN BURNING REMINDERS <br />The Hugo Fire Department asks that residents use caution <br />while having recreational fires and to have a water <br />source nearby, especially after a very dry summer. Burning <br />permits are required for any fire over 3 feet by 3 feet and can <br />be found at www.ci.hugo.mn.us/hfd. <br />Reminder to Hugo residents that as the leaves begin to fall, <br />open burning is not permitted within the City <br />unless a permit was obtained. Open burning includes <br />burning to dispose of vegetative matter. <br /> <br />SMOKE/CO DETECTORS <br />Please be mindful to change your smoke and carbon <br />monoxide detector batteries every 6 months. A good <br />way to remember this is to check your detector every time you <br />change your clocks for daylight savings. Please remember that <br />detectors have a service life of eight to ten years and do need to <br />be replaced. You may want to consider ten year life smoke/CO <br />detectors that you don’t have to change batteries. <br />Burning permits can be found at www.ci.hugo.mn.us/hfd <br />Hugo Firefighters responding to a garage fire. <br />Cpt.
