❄️🔥 PUT A FREEZE ON WINTER FIRES! 🔥❄️

As temperatures drop, heating equipment, fireplaces, space heaters, and generators become more common, and with them comes an increased risk of home fires and carbon monoxide emergencies.

The tips in the graphic are a great start, but here are a few additional winter safety reminders to keep you and your family safe:

🧯 Keep exits clear. Don’t allow coats, boots, decorations, or other winter items to block doors, windows, or escape routes.

🔥 Never leave a fire unattended. Whether it’s a fireplace, wood stove, or candle, make sure it is completely extinguished before leaving the room or going to bed.

🛏️ Never use your oven or stovetop to heat your home. It can create a serious fire and carbon monoxide hazard.

🔌 Inspect cords and outlets. Replace damaged, frayed, or cracked cords, and avoid using extension cords as a permanent solution for heating appliances.

🌨️ Keep vents clear of snow and ice. Make sure furnace, dryer, fireplace, and other exhaust vents remain unobstructed.

🚗 Never run a vehicle in an enclosed space. Always open the garage door before starting a vehicle, and never run a vehicle inside an attached or enclosed garage, even with the door open.

🔌 Plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet and avoid plugging multiple extension cords or power strips together (“daisy-chaining”), which can overload the circuit and create a fire hazard.

🧑‍🚒 Have a plan before an emergency happens. Make sure everyone in your household knows two ways out of every room, where to meet outside, and how to call 911.

📱 If you have an emergency, call 911. Get out, stay out, and never go back inside for people, pets, or belongings.

Stay warm. Stay safe. Stay fire smart this winter! ❄️🔥

🔥🏠 FIREPLACE SAFETY REMINDER 🏠🔥

As the temperatures drop and fireplace season gets underway, we want to remind everyone to take the proper precautions to keep your home and family safe!

A warm, cozy fire is a great way to beat the cold, but fireplace safety starts before you light the first fire!

Here are a few important safety tips:

🧹 Inspect Your Chimney: Have your chimney inspected and cleaned regularly by a qualified professional to prevent creosote buildup.

🪵 Burn the Right Fuel: Only burn seasoned, dry wood in your wood-burning fireplace. Never burn trash, cardboard, or treated wood.

🛡️ Use a Fireplace Screen: Help prevent sparks and embers from escaping into your living space.

📏 Keep Your Distance: Keep furniture, rugs, decorations, and other combustible materials at least 3 feet away from the fireplace.

🚫 Never Leave a Fire Unattended: Make sure the fire is completely extinguished before going to bed or leaving your home.

🪣 Dispose of Ashes Safely: Place ashes in a covered metal container and store it outside, away from your home and anything combustible. Ashes can retain heat for days!

🚨 Check Your Alarms: Test your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms to make sure they are working properly.

Keep these tips, along with those in the graphic, in mind as the temperatures drop and you start using your fireplace more frequently!

🔥 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2026 🔥

📅 October 4–10, 2026

This week, we join with departments across the country in recognizing Fire Prevention Week!

This year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging is a Superpower™” and focuses on the safe use and charging of devices powered by lithium-ion batteries. 🔋⚡

Lithium-ion batteries power many of the things we use every day, from phones and laptops to power tools, e-bikes, and other rechargeable devices.

Taking a few simple precautions can help prevent a fire:
🔌 Use the charging equipment designed or approved for your device.
🔋 Stop using batteries that show signs of damage, swelling, or overheating.
🛏️ Avoid charging devices on beds, couches, or other soft surfaces. Charge batteries on hard, flat surface away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
🚪 Keep charging devices and batteries away from exits and escape routes.
🚫 NEVER charge batteries in living spaces, including bedrooms, living rooms, or offices
⚠️ If a battery begins to smoke, overheat, change shape, or make unusual noises, move away from it and call 911.

Fire prevention doesn’t stop when Fire Prevention Week ends. Take some time this week to check your smoke alarms, review your family’s home escape plan, and look around your home for potential fire hazards.
Prevention starts before the alarm sounds.
Stay safe, Lower Allen!
