In efforts to reduce the risk of childhood drowning, Orange County Fire Rescue Department partnered with the Gunner Martin Foundation to provide FREE at home installations of door alarms to Orange County residents.

There’s a right way and a wrong way to get rid of your syringes. Don’t throw them in the trash. Take them to your nearest County Fire Station instead. Your fire station has a special container for used needles, which can be returned between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. seven days a week. This service is entirely free. Used needles and syringes can transmit hepatitis, HIV, AIDS and other fatal disease, so be safe.
