It's that time again. While you go around changing the clocks in your home tomorrow, you should also check your smoke alarms. If you haven't changed the battery in your alarms this year, this weekend is a good time to do so. If you have ten year lithium ion batteries in your alarms, you should still check to make sure they operate and that your alarms are less than 10 years old.

Before you head out for a night of tricks and treats, keep these three spook-tacular safety tips in mind!

Shine Bright! Make sure little ghosts and goblins are visible with reflective tape, flashlights, and glow sticks.

Keep the Frights, Skip the Flames! Use battery-operated LED lights instead of open flames to keep your jack-o'-lanterns glowing safely.

Watch Out for Things That Go Bump in the Night! Look both ways before crossing streets, stay alert for vehicles, and remember—drivers should slow down and watch for trick-or-treaters in neighborhoods.

A little caution goes a long way toward a safe, fun, and frightfully fantastic Halloween!

Happy Halloween from the Johns Creek Fire Department!

Doing some Trick or Treating soon? Consider these safety tips:

🎃 Review pedestrian safety with children - specifically
crossing the street at established crosswalks. Remind
older children to not walk while distracted by items like
their phones.
🎃 Always have an adult accompany younger children.
Older children / teens should travel in groups, remain
together at all times while out, and have a designated
time to return home.
🎃 For added visibility in the dark, have children use a flashlight or attach glow sticks to their costumes.
🎃 Caution children to never enter a home or car for a
treat.
🎃 Wear costumes that do not obscure the wearer's
vision. Use non-toxic makeup as opposed to masks and
objects that may cover the face. It's recommended that
costumes also be bright and reflective.
🎃 Thoroughly check / inspect all treats back at home
before consuming.

When charging on a plane, keep portable charging devices on the tray
table. Do not charge devices in overhead compartments and never
charge e-cigarettes or vapes on a plane. If a battery overheats or fails,
it is important for the flight crew to be able to respond quickly.
