Christmas trees bring so much joy and beauty into our homes, but it’s important to remember that they can also be a fire hazard if not cared for properly. Check out these Holiday Tree Safety Tips from the National Fire Protection Association.

Don’t forget to renew your pet’s tags. Registering your dog or cat helps ensure they can be quickly and safely returned to you if they ever get lost. A reminder that dog and cat tags are just $20 if purchased before March 1, 2026. After this date, the fee increases to $30. Applications and full details are available on our Animal Control page.
