Fire Hazard Reminders & Tips
Fire Hazard Reminders and Tips:This time of year there can be many potential fire hazards. From the use of portable heaters to Christmas lights, fire places and misuses of extension cords there are increased risks in this sea-son. Be safe by following all the labeling requirements on these types of appliances and accessories. Another line of defense is your smoke detectors inside the homes. All of the homes in Lewis-McChord Communities are equipped with smoke detec-tors. You will find detectors on every floor of the home and in bedrooms. Some smoke detectors will be battery operated only and some are hard wired directly into the home with a battery back up. You are responsible for maintaining the smoke detectors in good working order. Please test your detectors regularly and change batteries when it is needed. If you are ever concerned or would like to have your smoke or carbon monoxide detectors checked, just simply call in a work order.
*** Tip: A good way to remember batteries is to change them every time you set your clock forward or backward in con-junction with Daylight Savings time and Standard time.
Seasonal Reminders
Winter DecorationsDates and Information
Home Winter Weather TipsSnow, Ice and Freezing
Winter Decoration Reminders • Winter Seasonal decorations must be removed by
March 19th Winter decorations consist of snowmen, snowflakes and winter wreaths etc.
Please note, immediate removal may be required of any decorations, alterations, additions or fixtures which are made or installed without Agent’s prior written consent.
* Holiday decorations are restricted to first story gutters.
Please Note - December Holiday decorations should have been removed by January 10th. December deco-rations consist of Santa Claus, presents, lights, blow up characters, wreaths with ornaments, stockings, holiday trees etc.
Winter Weather Tips For Your Home:With the changing weather, we could experience extreme temperature drops, snow and ice. When this kind of weather hits the Northwest, there is the possibility of pipes freezing and bursting in your home. You can help to prevent this by taking some simple steps. Disconnect all garden hoses from the exterior faucets. Keep your house temperature set at 55 or higher, even if you’re leaving the house for an extended period of time. Do not turn off the heating system, this can cause significant damage in your home due to broken water pipes. Open cabinet doors below sinks to allow heat from the home to circulate in these enclosed spaces. During extended periods of freezing temperatures set your inside faucets on a low drip to circulate water in the pipes and help prevent the lines from freezing.
Ice and Snow:With snow and ice accumulations typically spanning short periods of time in the Pacific Northwest your Lewis McChord Communities teams will focus on hills, major roads and major intersections in and out of our communities. Lewis McChord Communities does not shovel or lay down ice/snow melt in walkways or driveways around the homes. During these times we ask you to use caution while moving in and around JBLM and other communi-ties surrounding the installation, including major freeways and roadways. Follow the guidance provided by local officials and be safe when making a decision to travel away from your home. HAVE A SAFE WINTER

Go Lewis-McChordWelcome to GO Lewis-McChord
You have probably wondered what the vans driving around Joint Base Lew-is-McChord with GO Transit signs on the top are for. What are these GO Transit vehicles doing
by every DFAC, gym, and major route on JBLM? GO Transit is a free transit system available to everyone on JBLM that lets you travel the main areas around base.
How do you use GO Transit? Find the stop closest to you by visiting the GOLewisMcChord.com website or downloading the free phone app OneBusAway. Use the schedules listed at any of those locations to determine the next time a vehicle is due at that stop. Stand within five feet of the GO Transit stop and the driver will stop, although a little waive is always appreciated, especially in low-visibility situations. When you board, let the driver know what stop you want to go to. If your destination requires a transfer, the driver will communicate with the other vehicles to make sure you easily get onto the next vehicle.
In addition to the on-base transportation options this provides, GO Transit also connects with two off-base locations. The 512 Park-and- Ride in Lakewood provides connections with public transportation to Sea-Tac Airport, Seattle, Lakewood Town Center, and Tacoma. The DuPont extension provides access to restaurants and businesses downtown as well as weekday connections with public transportation to Seattle.
Consider trying GO Transit on your next trip to the Post Exchange, the gym, or an appointment. You will find it easier than fighting traffic and more convenient than searching for parking! If you have any questions about GO Transit or other GO Lewis-McChord programs, call (253)-966- 3939.
