Ramsey Fire Department Training Program <br />The City of Ramsey Fire Department conducted a <br />training program designed to help their firefighters maintain <br />skills and train using new equipment and firefighting <br />techniques. On January 6, they burned a vacant house to <br />simulate actual working conditions, following the National <br />Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for Fire <br />Department Training Burns, NFPA 1403. These standards <br />are designed to maintain a safe training environment and are <br />strictly adhered to by the City of Ramsey Fire Department. <br />GET INVOLVED! <br />Use your life skills to <br />find solutions, generate <br />ideas and advise the <br />City Council. <br />Join one of Ramsey's advisory <br />Boards or Commissions. <br />For more information or to <br />apply, please visit www. <br />cityoframsey.com/boards <br />or call Human Resources <br />at 763-433-9866. <br />• <br />.; Watch stories from <br />d v Ramsey on MTV's <br />\ YouTube channel! <br />Scan the QR Code or visit <br />www.YouTube.com/QCTV <br />Never miss a story —subscribe today! <br />0 <br />Recycle Excess Cardboard Boxes <br />Around the holidays, it seems as though <br />many of us end up with lots of extra <br />cardboard boxes that won't necessarily fit <br />in the curbside recycling cart. Well, we've <br />got you covered! Now until January <br />19, two dumpsters will be available <br />for residents to recycle all those extra <br />cardboard boxes. The dumpsters will be <br />at the old Public Works campus, 14100 <br />Jasper Street NW. Please flatten all boxes <br />to help conserve space in the dumpsters. These dumpsters <br />are for cardboard and other recyclable paper only. <br />Holiday Lights Recycling <br />The Ramsey Municipal Center will <br />again serve as a drop-offlocation for <br />recycling holiday lights, extension, <br />telephone and appliance cords. They <br />can be dropped off at the Ramsey <br />Municipal Center (7550 Sunwood <br />Drive NW) during regular business <br />hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 <br />am-4:30 pm, now until the end of January 2024. <br />A collection cart will be in the main lobby of the building. <br />There is no cost to residents for this service. Please DO <br />NOT put strands of holiday lights in your recycling cart. <br />They are not accepted as a material through the curbside <br />recycling program, as they cause a lot of issues at the <br />materials recovery facilities. 'flight strands are mounted <br />on plastic `framing' (used to form shapes such as snowmen, <br />stars, etc.), the plastic framing must be removed and <br />disposed of in your garbage. <br />Looking to switch to water <br />efficient appliances? <br />replace it! <br />4 <br />Find more info about the $20 <br />www.cityoframsey.com/wrebate <br />or call 763-433-9817 <br />CLEAN <br />WATER <br />LAND & <br />LEGACY <br />CITY OF RAMSEY I Weekly UPDATE January 12, 2024 2 <br />
