With heavy rains currently affecting much of the county, the Potsdam Fire Department is urging residents to take five minutes to check their basements for signs of flooding or water damage and to make sure their sump pumps are functioning properly.

If you experience an emergency, call 911 or contact the Potsdam Fire Station at (315) 265-3311.
