Summer Safety

6/9/2015 (Permalink)

With summer here, many families are looking forward to summer fun including vacations, camping, picnics and barbecues.  Unfortunately, summertime may also bring increased risk of fires and injuries due to campfires and outdoor grills.

• Build campfires away from dry grass and leaves, and where they are not likely to spread.
• Keep campfires small and dont let them get out of hand.
• Keep water and a shovel close to the fire to douse the fire when you're done.  Stir the fire and douse it again with water to help ensure it is out entirely.
