🚒 Fire Safety Friday — Week 7 🚒

🔥 This Week’s Topic: Grill & Outdoor Cooking Safety

Summer means grilling, family gatherings, and time outside—but grills can create serious fire hazards when they’re used too close to homes, decks, or other combustible materials.

🔥 Keep these grilling safety tips in mind:

📍 Keep your grill at least 10 feet away from your home, deck railings, and anything else that can burn.

👀 Never leave a grill unattended. A fire can develop quickly.

🧹 Keep the grill clean. Grease and fat buildup can ignite and cause a dangerous flare-up.

🧯 Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and make sure everyone knows where it is.

👕 Keep clothing, towels, paper products, and other combustibles away from the grill.

🚫 Never use a grill inside a garage, porch, tent, or other enclosed area. Grills produce carbon monoxide in addition to creating a fire hazard.

🔥 If a grease fire occurs:

❌ Never use water on a grease fire.
➡️ Turn off the burners if you can safely do so.
➡️ Close the lid to help cut off the oxygen.
➡️ If the fire continues or spreads, get everyone away from the area and call 911 (tel:911).

⚠️ For propane grills: If you smell gas or suspect a leak, turn off the propane supply if it is safe to do so, move away from the area, and call 911 (tel:911) if necessary.

🏡 Before your next cookout, take a quick look at your grill’s location, condition, and surroundings. A few minutes of preparation can help keep your family, home, and guests safe.

🚒 Fire Safety Friday 🚒

🔥 This Week’s Topic: Electrical Fire Safety

Electricity powers our homes every day, but overloaded outlets, damaged cords, and improper use of electrical equipment can quickly become a fire hazard.

⚡ Keep Your Home Safe with These Electrical Safety Tips:

🔌 Never overload outlets or power strips. Plug high-powered appliances directly into a wall outlet whenever possible.

🔍 Inspect electrical cords regularly. Replace cords that are frayed, cracked, or damaged.

🚫 Do not run extension cords under rugs, furniture, or through doorways. Heat can build up and damage the cord.

💡 Use the correct wattage for all light fixtures and lamps.

🧒 Keep outlets protected with safety covers if young children are in the home.

🛠️ Have a licensed electrician inspect any outlets, switches, or breakers that feel warm, spark, or trip repeatedly.

🔥 If an electrical fire starts:
❌ Never use water.
🔌 If it is safe, disconnect the power.
🧯 Use a Class C or multipurpose ABC fire extinguisher for small fires.
🚪 If the fire begins to spread, get everyone out immediately, stay out, and call 911 (tel:911).

🏡 Take a few minutes this week to walk through your home and inspect your electrical cords, outlets, and power strips. Replacing a damaged cord today could prevent a fire tomorrow.

🚒 Fire Safety Friday 🚒

🔥 This Week’s Topic: Home Fire Escape Plans

A fire can spread through a home in less than two minutes. Having a plan—and practicing it—can make all the difference.

🏡 Create Your Family’s Escape Plan:

🚪 Know two ways out of every room whenever possible.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Choose a safe outdoor meeting place, such as:

A mailbox
A neighbor’s driveway
A large tree across the street

🚫 Once you’re outside, stay outside. Never go back inside a burning building for people, pets, or belongings.

📞 Call 911 (tel:911) from outside the home or from a neighbor’s house.

⏱️ Practice your family’s fire escape plan at least twice a year, including one drill at night when most home fires occur.

🚪 Sleep with bedroom doors closed whenever possible. A closed door can slow the spread of heat, smoke, and toxic gases, giving your family valuable extra time to escape.

🔥 If smoke is present:
⬇️ Stay low and crawl beneath the smoke.
🖐️ Feel doors with the back of your hand before opening them. If the door is hot, use another exit.

Take a few minutes this week to walk through your home with your family and make sure everyone knows exactly what to do if the smoke alarm sounds.
