Are you a retired electrician looking for some extra income? We could use a licensed electrician a couple of days a week for at least the rest of the year. Think about it this weekend and give me a call next week! Andrew 207 - 991 - 3981

In November of 1997 I helped install two conduits into a trench full of water that ran about from where I'm standing next to the pad mount transformer to the utility pole you see in the back-center. The trench was full of water, the pipes wanted to float, we tried to hold them down and bury them with "24 inches of cover". The following week we ran wires in those pipes which now feed the Old Town Y with 3-phase high-voltage lines to the transformer.

I walked inside the gym and there was no power this morning. Thankfully it was a tree somewhere in town that caused it and not some poor sole driving one of these pins for the tent. The third time this summer I've wondered how these tent companies drive these pins without a call to digsafe. We've forgot about Farmington and so many other tragedies already. History does repeat itself at times. Be careful on where you're driving your spike.

About to commence years 30 and 31. It is always a good idea to make sure whoever is doing your electrical work is licensed and insured. I saw wiring yesterday that made me wonder who could possibly think that it was ok to leave it that way and let people sleep in that house.

Call us if you need your detectors upgraded. We offer several options and encourage detectors with the 10-year battery backup

This weekend marks everyone’s favorite time of year . . . that’s right . . . it’s when Daylight Savings Time ends and we all get to spend an hour and a half resetting all 23 clocks in our home . . . or do as I do and simply leave the microwave clock blinking at 12:00.

In between digging out your Subaru Outback’s owner’s manual to figure out how in the world you are supposed to change the clock back an hour, we here at the Bangor Fire Department also encourage you to take a few minutes to change out the batteries in your smoke detectors.

While studies show most Americans have smoke detectors – something like 97% of us at last count – the same studies show 1 in 5 detectors may not work. Insuring your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors have fresh batteries is one way of improving those odds.

Speaking of numbers . . . if your smoke detector is 10 years or older it’s time to replace it. Unlike that pack of Twinkies you forgot about on the top shelf in your kitchen pantry, smoke detectors have a life expectancy . . . and most experts suggest replacing the unit at the ten year mark to keep you and your family safe.

And yeah, we get it . . . changing out batteries on top of resetting every single watch, clock and electronic doodad while simultaneously raiding your kid’s Halloween candy stash from the evening before can be a pain. But there’s a reason why we recommend changing the batteries in the smoke detectors right about now . . . it’s because starting in the Fall the number of fires begins to slowly increase . . . and so it only makes sense to insure the one device in your home which will alert you to fire will work if and when you need it to do so.

Oh, and one other helpful bit of advice . . . if you look carefully, right below the heater control you’ll probably see two tiny buttons which will let you change the time on your Outback.
