🎃👻 Happy Halloween from the Marquette Fire Department! 🚒

As you head out for a night of trick-or-treating, we want everyone to have a fun, safe, and spooktacular evening!

A few safety reminders to keep in mind:

🎃 Carry a flashlight or glow sticks so you can be seen. 👻 Wear reflective clothing or add reflective tape to costumes. 🚸 Always use sidewalks and crosswalks, and look both ways before crossing the street. 🍬 Children should trick-or-treat with a responsible adult. 🧙 Make sure costumes fit properly to prevent trips and falls. 🔦 Drivers, please slow down and watch carefully for children walking in neighborhoods. 🍭 Wait until you get home to inspect candy before eating.

Our firefighters want everyone to enjoy Halloween and make it home safely!

Have fun, stay safe, and have a frightfully good Halloween!

From our family at Marquette Fire Department to yours — Happy Halloween! 🧡🖤🚒
