Groundhog Day Lodi NJ

Submitted by Fernando Semiao on January 27, 2016 - 6:56am

According to folklore, if it is cloudy when a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day, then spring will come early; if it is sunny, the groundhog will supposedly see its shadow and retreat back into its burrow, and the winter weather will continue for six more weeks. Punxsutawney held its first Groundhog Day in the United States in the 1800s. The first official trek to Gobbler's Knob near, Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, was made on February 2, 1887. Movies, advertisements, cartoons and other media have portrayed the legendary role of the groundhog in popular culture. The term “Groundhog Day” is a phrase that is some- times used to express if the same events or actions occur repetitively for a period of time. Groundhog Day, already a widely recognized and popular tradition, received widespread attention as a result of the 1993 film "Groundhog Day."       Gazette

Chimney Safety Tips in Bergen County NJ

Submitted by Fernando Semiao on January 12, 2016 - 7:00am

Chimney Safety Tips
Chimney maintenance is vital to your family’s safety. The Hasbrouck Heights Fire Department offers these tips:
• Have your chimney inspected and cleaned on a regular basis.
• When possible, burn seasoned woods (dryness of the wood is more important than hard wood versus soft wood).
• Smaller, hotter fires will burn more completely and produce less smoke.
• Do not burn cardboard boxes or trash, as they can spark a chimney fire.
• Install stovepipe thermometers, which help monitor flue temperatures where wood stoves are in use, then adjust burning practices as needed
