The fire department is expanding its Bucket Brigade program to help senior citizens avoid slips and falls this winter. Firefighters will be delivering a 5-gallon bucket of sand and salt mix to participants' homes Dec. 3, the department has announced. A form to sign up is available on the NAFD Facebook page and the department says some slots are still available. The Bucket Brigade program started last year with funding from a Senior SAFE grant through the state Department of Fire Services. The department plans to continue expanding it each year. "Our goal is to ensure seniors are able to walk safely in and out of their homes when slips and falls are at their highest risk," the department said in an announcement. It is not required for anyone to be at home to receive delivery. The department will also leave information on how to have the bucket refilled if needed.
