| Fall fire safety |
Check and change your smoke detector batteries, it may save your family's life.
Make sure your fireplace/wood stove chimney is clean to prevent a chimney fire.
Use caution with turkey fryer's, make sure they are stable, outside and not overfilled.
Burn your leaves away from your house and have a hose present.
On snowy / icy days, allow extra road time to enable you to drive slower and keep us from having to cut you out of your car!
Be safe and enjoy the upcoming Holidays!
