The Hopkinton Fire Department is warning town residents about a possible home carbon monoxide inspection scam.
A town resident has reported to us that they’re receiving phone calls from a Chimney Cleaning Company trying to inspect their home carbon monoxide detectors. The company is telling residenst they are representing the Hopkinton Fire Department. The Hopkinton Fire Department only inspects carbon monoxide detectors by request of a homeowner. We believe this is a scam to gain entrance into private homes.
If you have any questions, please contact the Hopkinton Fire Department at 508-497-2325 or the Hopkinton Police Department at 508-497-4301.
