Frequently Asked Questions


	Who should I contact with questions about my ambulance bill? Comstar Ambulance Billing Service 8 Turcotte Memorial Drive Rowley, MA 01969 Ph: (978) 356-3344 Fax: (978) 356-2721 Click here for website How can I dispose of a fire extinguisher? Empty fire extinguishers can be thrown away in the curbside trash. If an old fire extinguisher is full, discharge it into a trash bag and then dispose of the bag and extinguishers curbside. Do I have to remove my underground home heating oil tank? No. Current State law does not require the homeowner to remove an underground storage tank for home heating oil. Tanks must be removed if they have been identified as leaking or if they have not been used in the previous 24 months. The oil can only be used for heating the building and domestic hot water. If the tank supplies fuel for other equipment such as an emergency generator, other guidelines become effective. The tank can remain in place but must meet requirements for corrosion protection and annual testing for leaks. However, if you are selling your home, a new buyer will find it difficult to obtain a mortgage on the property if an underground storage tank is present.
