Home Energy Audits: Save
Money, Go
Green
Learn how to make your home more
comfortable, healthy, safe, and energy efficient on
Monday, December 8th at 7pm at the New
Carrollton Branch Library. Presented by David C.
Brosch of Green Homes Blue Sky, LLC and in partnership
with the
Prince George’s County
Council.
Change your Clock, Change Your
Battery
The Prince
George’s Fire/EMS Department
would like to remind you to change the batteries in your
smoke alarms. Residents are encouraged to test
smoke alarms monthly, install smoke alarms on every
level of your home, and replace alarms 10 years old or
older.
Sadly over a year ago we lost a
cherished civic activist from the Riverdale Heights community
to a house fire. I want to make a special point
that we all replace the batteries in our smoke
detectors.
