Generator Safety
Andover Fire Rescue would like to remind residents to keep generators at least 15 feet from the house while in operation. Operating a generator too close to a house creates a risk of carbon monoxide entering the home. Call 911 if your carbon monoxide detector is sounding.
Downed Power Line Safety
Always use extreme caution near downed power lines and wires. For your own safety, assume that they are live and carrying electricity.
Ongoing Restoration
We expect that unsafe conditions will continue into Saturday and Sunday. We appreciate the community’s understanding that the impacts from this storm, including power outages, may last multiple days.
