This Saturday, April 26 at 8am, the Sims Volunteer Fire Department will conduct a scheduled burn of a structure within the town limits. They will be using this burn as a training session with four other local fire departments. This burn has met all state regulations, approvals and inspections.

We ask that you avoid the area of Broad Street and 6249 Main Street (Green Pond Rd). The Sims Community Park will be closed on this day to the public to allow access for the multiple fire department vehicles and equipment, and to ensure safety to the public.

During this burn, the fire department may access water from our hydrants. Any time a hydrant is open, it can create a disruption in water pressure or quality of water. If you experience these issues, please know they are only temporary while the training is active.

Once the burn is complete, in the event that your water is discolored, please turn on the cold water and allow it to run for several minutes until clear again.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Scheduled burns are an important part of the training process. Thank you for your cooperation and patience with us during this time.
