On Sept. 2, the Winnfield Fire Department visited the Winn Council on Aging to lead a class on fire safety and fall prevention for seniors. Firefighter John Hurt, Capt. Philip Wilkerson and part-time firefighter Cody Lockridge shared practical tips on keeping homes safe, including the importance of working smoke detectors, clearly visible house numbers and everyday precautions to avoid slips and falls.

Residents who do not have smoke detectors are urged to call 318-628-3923
