Just a helpful hint to keep handy – In case you need our NW Fire Department in the evening hours, call 911 and tell them your problem (such as a smoke detector going off) and they will have someone come out ASAP.  Don’t bother calling the non-emergency number listed, just call 911 and you will be helped.

Bill E. told us that Comcast has an app that will stop all robo calls to your numbers.
