—-IMPORTANT UPDATE——

BLACK SWAN NAIL & SPA TEMPORARY LOCATION IS NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS AT THEIR TEMPORARY LOCATION: 501 BOSTON POST RD, UNIT 7!

Good morning, everyone. We come to you with some great news.

As everyone is aware, one of our local businesses experienced a fire last weekend. Black Swan Nail & Spa had an unfortunate incident and was forced to close.

Today, the Fire Marshal’s Office, Building Department and Health Department approved Black Swan’s temporary location to open! Within six (6) days, all approving departments from the Town of Orange conducted plan reviews and inspections to get our local business back open.

Pictured below is the owner, Fei in front of their new temporary location at 501 Boston Post Rd, Unit #7, former Lauren Rose Boutique.

We wish Fei and his staff the best, and look forward to working with him to get his original location back open!

This morning, the Orange Volunteer Fire Department responded to a smell of smoke at the row of stores at 517-519 Boston Post Rd.

Upon arrival, personnel entered a cosmetology business to investigate the odor. Within seconds, firefighters noticed the front windows of the adjacent salon were soot-covered. The front door was forced and a significant fire was found in the salon.

The fire appears to be accidental in nature. Nobody was injured. The immediately adjacent businesses will be closed temporarily to allow for clean up but should be back open to the public by the end of the day.

This incident stresses the importance of a monitored fire alarm system. While not code required, had there been a monitored fire alarm system, the department would’ve been notified early in the event and could’ve prevented most of the fire damage.

All of us here at the Orange Fire Marshal’s Office want to thank you all for allowing us to proudly serve our community! Wishing everyone a happy and healthy holiday season, and a prosperous new year!

Starting in October, Deputy Fire Marshal Tim Borer kicks off the statewide Fire Prevention Poster Contest. Students from the fourth and fifth grade are invited to participate in the contest, showing off their artistic skills as well as their knowledge in fire safety. From the many posters we received, a panel of judges narrows the field down to just one fourth and one fifth grade poster represent the Town of Orange in the competition.

Today, we paid a visit to our winners; both of which are from Racebrook School. Emma and Zumra created these amazing posters conveying a fire safety message. Thank you to both of our winners for your hard work!

We’d also like to thank the school administration from all three elementary schools for their support of our program. And last but certainly not least, thank you to Deputy Fire Marshal Borer for the many hours he spends administering this great event!

Pictured below is Principal Katherine McNeil, Deputy Fire Marshal Tim Borer, and our winners Emma and Zumra.

Last week, Donna the Pro-desk manager from the Orange Home Depot called our office. Donna mentioned they had smoke detectors they would like to donate to the Fire Marshal’s Office to aid in our fire safety program. We gladly accepted!

Last week, we picked up over 300 smoke alarms! They are in our office and ready to be installed in your house! If you are a Town of Orange resident, please call our office at (203) 891-4711 or stop by and pick up a smoke alarm or two if you need them! If you need assistance installing the smoke alarms, our staff would be more than happy to help. Just call the number above and schedule an appointment!
