9/11 Commemoration

Chief David W. Cody and the members of the Salem Fire Department respectfully invite you to attend a memorial service commemorating the tenth anniversary of the tradgies that devastated our county on September 11, 2001. Please join us in honoring the victims of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Flight 93 that crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

Immediately following our ceremony we will be dedicating our recently completed 9-11 Memorial. The memorial was designed and built by the dedicated men and women of this department. The center stone of the memorial is capped by a 100 pound steel beam recovered from ground zero and made available by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Please join us for our service that will begin at 10:00 am Sunday September 11, 2011 at 48 Lafayette St. Salem Massachusetts (rain or shine)

Maytag Dryer Gunk

The Maytag dryer that is closest to the back wall of the laundry has some kind of waxy residue in it. Best guess is that somebody ran a load of their kid's clothes through the high heat cycle with a couple of crayons in the pocket. There is brown and green residue smeared in parts of the drum. Until maintenance has a chance to look at it, you probably want to avoid drying white or light-colored things in there. This might also be a good time to remind you, that if you are doing a load of laundry, check the pockets for things that are leakable (pens), meltable (candy or crayons), or flammable (lighters). Might save someone a load of ruined clothing.
