I want to thank the firefighters in Claremont for their brave actions and quick response time in the recent spate of house fires. Their quick action undoubtedly saved lives in these highly populated areas.
Unfortunately, there were two lives tragically lost.
This loss of life is devastating to the families. I hope they get the support that they need. I would also like to ask the community to support and recognize the firemen who are also tragically affected by these losses.
Claremont Fire Chief Bryan Burr encourages all Claremont residents to test their smoke detectors and to contact the fire department if they need detectors.
People in other communities need to reach out to their own departments for needed assistance with detectors.
Be safe, be well.
