Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue is adjusting our efforts in how we provide life safety information to the communities we serve in light of the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and need to prevent its spread.

While we look forward to the day we will be able to offer lessons in schools and senior centers, participate in public events and fairs, and join you in your businesses, TVF&R remains committed to creating safer communities and workplaces.

TVF&R's Fire and Life Safety Division hopes this new "Safety First" online newsletter provides helpful information on how you can enhance the safety of your homes and businesses. This edition highlights Heart Month, winter safety, bathroom fan safety, tips on how to prevent fall injuries, safe sleeping tips for families, and a list of consumer product safety recalls.

If you have ideas on topics you would like to see covered in future editions or have questions, please email SafetyFirst@tvfr.com.
