👻🎃 FUN FACT FRIDAY: Halloween Safety! 🎃👻

Halloween is one of the most dangerous nights of the year for kids on foot. Children are more than twice as likely to be struck by a vehicle on Halloween night

Dark costumes, low visibility, and excited trick-or-treaters can be a dangerous combination.

🟠 Be Seen: Add reflective tape, glow sticks, or lights to costumes and trick-or-treat bags.
🔦 Light the Way: Carry a flashlight and stick to sidewalks and well-lit paths.
🚸 Cross Safely: Use corners and crosswalks, Keep away from parked cars that can block your and drivers' views.
🚗 DRIVERS: Slow WAY down in residential neighborhoods and watch carefully for little ghosts and goblins, especially from dusk through 9 p.m.
👨‍👩‍👧 Parents: Accompany younger trick-or-treaters and for older monsters agree on a route and check-in time.
🍭 Everyone: Take a quick look at your candy before digging in. Toss anything that’s open, damaged, or looks suspicious

🎃 Let's keep Halloween fun for everyone! 🚒

From all of us at the Cape St. Claire Volunteer Fire Company, have a safe and happy Halloween!

FUN FACT FRIDAY!!!

When its chilly and you are ready to get cozy, make sure you are doing it safely.

Before you fire up the furnace for the season, take a few minutes to make sure your home is ready!

🔦 Inspect heating equipment: furnace, fireplace, space heaters. Check for cracks, blockages, leaks; if in doubt, or it's been a while, call the experts.

🏠Direct Wall Outlets Only: Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet; never use an extension cord, power strip, or surge protector, which can overheat and spark a fire.

🔥Clear Surrounding Areas: Remove toys, furniture, dust, and debris from around radiators, baseboard heaters, and HVAC vents.

🚨 Check your detectors: Both smoke and carbon monoxide. Test the alarm, check the expiation date, and make sure they are located appropriately

☠️ Remember: Carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless, and potentially deadly. If your CO alarm sounds, get outside into fresh air and call 911.

Stay warm. Stay safe.

Fun Fact Friday: Halloween Decoration Safety

👻 Spooky is fun. A fire isn’t! 🔥

Halloween decorations can turn your home into the perfect haunted house—but make sure they don't create a fire hazard!

🎃 Watch those jack-o'-lanterns! If you use a real candle, keep it on a sturdy surface and never leave it unattended. Keep long sleeves away if lighting a candle

🕯️ Better yet, skip the real flames. Use battery-operated candles instead of open flames in pumpkins and decorations.

💡 Check your lights. Look for damaged cords, broken bulbs, or loose connections before plugging them in.

🔌 Don't overload outlets. Give your decorations—and your electrical system—a break!

🚪 Keep exits clear. Decorations should never block doors, hallways, stairs, or escape routes.

🍂 Keep decorations away from heat. Stay clear of fireplaces, heaters, light fixtures, and other heat sources.

👨‍🚒 What is our favorite Halloween decoration? A working smoke alarm! Make sure your alarms are working before the trick-or-treaters arrive.

Have a safe, spooky Halloween! 🎃👻🧡
