Novelty Lighters Still Legal in Most States
In 2008, Maine became the first state to ban novelty lighters. Today, there are 22 states in which novelty lighters are illegal, or where legislation to prevent their sale is pending. These include AR, DE, HI, IL, LA, MA, ME, MI, MS, NC, NE, NJ, NV, NY, OH, OR, PA, TN, UT, VA, WA, WI.
Despite the movement's growing support, novelty lighters are still legal in most states, and the issue has stalled altogether at the federal level. In 2009, Senator Ron Wyden, of Oregon, introduced legislation to ban the sale of novelty lighters throughout the country, but the bill has since expired.

January - Portable Generators:
During the winter time, especially in the more rural areas where Graham Fire & Rescue serves, there can be instances where inclement weather
has caused power outtages. As a result, many people employ portable power generators to ensure that their family has power in the event that service
is interrupted. Here are some great tips to help make certain that safety is taken into consideration when running a portable generator.
