Rayville Police Chief Willie Robinson would like to address the season change. It is that time of year when we are transitioning from the heat of summer to the cool of fall, then the cold of winter.
Chief Robinson would like to remind everyone to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors. A working smoke detector can be the difference between life and death. It is very important year round to make sure your smoke detectors are in working order.
With the fall and winter months moving in, Chief Robinson advises that now is the time to get your winter preparations done.
“Check your heating systems and make sure they are in working order,” he said. “Make sure to go ahead and get your pipes and outside water outlets wrapped up. A cold winter morning is no time to wake up to a busted pipe.
“Please make sure to check on elderly relatives and the elderly in our community. Make sure that they have adequate heating in place before the cold winter gets here. If we go ahead and get the winter preparations done, then when the cold gets here we will already be prepared.”
