Electrical Fires

 September 30, 2021

One of the most common questions we get asked is “what type of fires do we respond to the most?” This week alone we had two small electrical related fires.
Overloaded outlets and the misuse of extension cords are common electrical issues that can cause a home fire.
Here are some basic steps to take to prevent such fires.
Safety tips:
* Use as few cord adapters and extension cords as possible. Instead use a power strip that has a surge protector.
* Extension cords should only used for temporary use. They should not be tacked to walls or run under rugs.
* Small appliances, like the toaster should be unplugged when not in use.
* Check your electrical cords. If they are cracked or damaged, replace them. Don’t try to repair them.
* Don’t overload extension cords or wall outlets.
* Never use extension cords with appliances. Plug them directly into wall outlets.

PA Turnpike to Close Kumry Road for Construction in Milford Township

King of Prussia, PA – The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission is planning to close Kumry Road between Rosenberger Road and Walnut Lane in Milford Township, Bucks County, beginning at 9:00 AM Monday, August 8, for overhead bridge construction, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today.

The closure will be in place periodically on Mondays through Fridays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM or 7:00 PM to 5:00 AM and 24 hours on Saturdays and Sundays as needed through Summer 2025.

Kumry Road passenger vehicles will be directed to use Allentown Road, Route 663 (John Fries Highway), and Krammes Road. Large trucks will be directed to use Main Street, Broad Street, Tollgate Road, Route 309 (West End Boulevard), and Route 663 (John Fries Highway). Local access will be maintained up to the work zone.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time when traveling near the work area because backups and delays will occur. All scheduled activities are weather dependent.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike will complete this project under a PennDOT Highway Occupancy Permit.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles by visiting www.511PA.com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information and access to more than 1,000 traffic cameras.

For a complete list of construction projects impacting state-owned highways in Bucks, Chester, Delaware, Montgomery, and Philadelphia counties, visit the District 6 Traffic Bulletin.

Information about infrastructure in District 6 including completed work and significant projects, is available at www.penndot.gov/D6Results. Find PennDOT’s planned and active construction projects at www.projects.penndot.gov.

Follow PennDOT on Twitter and like the department on Facebook and Instagram.
