Government Center), the Public Works Department has submitted a list
of Durham public projects that could potentially be included as part of the
Federal economic stimulus package being developed in Washington, D.C. by

Fire
Department Warns of Building Collapse Danger
Due to this week's heavy snow with
rain in the forecast it becomes very important to clear roofs of snow and
ice that has accumulated. A roof may collapse with little or no warning,
and one common misconception is that only flat roofs are susceptible to
collapse. Residents are advised to take the following steps to
mitigate the danger of a roof collapse:
- Clear roofs of
excessive snow and ice buildup, being careful not to damage gas and oil
service to the building.
- Keep all chimneys and
vents clear to prevent carbon monoxide from backing up into the
building. Some vents, such as pellet stove vents, may exit the building
through a wall and are susceptible to being blocked by excessive snow buildup
on the outside of the building.
- Keep all exits clear
of snow, so that occupants can escape quickly if a fire, or other emergency,
should occur. Keep in mind that windows should be cleared to allow a
secondary means of escape in case the primary means of escape is blocked by
fire. Keeping exits clear also allows emergency personnel to access
your home/building.
