The Linden Fire Department has announced that this year’s fire prevention week will take place during the week of October 4th through October 10th. This year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week 2020 is “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.” Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries in the United States. The Linden Fire Department has put together an all-virtual Fire Prevention Week Program that will educate the community on cooking hazards, the dangers of unattended cooking, and precautions they can take to prevent cooking-related fires.

Download New Jersey’s free COVID Alert NJ exposure notification app. Help protect yourself and your family while ensuring your privacy. Add Your Phone to the COVID Fight. Download COVID Alert NJ.
COVID Alert NJ is New Jersey’s free and secure mobile app that anonymously alerts users if they have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
The app also provides users with up-to-date information on New Jersey reopening news, key COVID-19 metrics, and a user-friendly symptom tracking tool. COVID Alert NJ uses Bluetooth proximity technology. The app will never record any identifying data. All users will remain anonymous.
How it Works:
Download COVID Alert NJ on the App Store or Google Play Store. Opt-in to receive “Exposure Notifications“.
As you go about your day, the app will use Bluetooth to sense any “close contacts”—other app users who are within 6 feet of you for more than 10 minutes.
When your app senses a close contact, your phone will exchange a secure random code with the close contact’s phone. It’s important to note that your location and name are never disclosed.
If you test positive for COVID-19, a public health representative will call you and ask if you’re willing to anonymously notify your “close contacts” by uploading your app’s close contact codes.
Each day, the app will compare your list of close contact codes to the list of codes associated with positive COVID-19 app users. If there’s a match you will get an Exposure Alert, along with appropriate next steps.
