🚜🌾 HAPPY NATIONAL FARMERS DAY! 🌾🚜

Today, October 12th, Southern Pines Fire & Rescue is celebrating the hardworking farmers who help keep food on our tables and our communities thriving! 🌽🐄🚜

Farming is more than a job—it’s a way of life! But with heavy machinery, flammable materials, and long working hours, safety should always be a top priority.

🔥 FARM SAFETY TIPS:

🚜 Maintain Your Equipment: Regularly inspect tractors and farm machinery for fuel leaks, damaged wiring, and buildup of dry vegetation that could cause fires.

🧯 Be Fire Ready: Keep properly rated fire extinguishers accessible in barns, workshops, and on farm equipment. Know how to use them safely!

🌾 Store Hay Safely: Hay stored with excessive moisture can heat up and potentially catch fire through spontaneous combustion. Make sure hay is properly dried before storage.

⚡ Check Electrical Systems Regularly: Barns, workshops, and agricultural buildings can be exposed to dust, moisture, rodents, and harsh conditions that damage electrical systems. Regularly inspect outlets, cords, lighting, and electrical panels for signs of wear, frayed wires, overheating, or damage. Have a qualified electrician inspect and repair any electrical concerns to help prevent fires!

👨‍👩‍👧 Keep Little Farmers Safe: Teach children to stay clear of operating equipment, grain bins, and other farm hazards.

❤️ To all our local farmers—THANK YOU! Your hard work, dedication, and commitment to our community do not go unnoticed.

From our family at Southern Pines Fire & Rescue to yours, stay safe out there! 🚒❤️

🔥 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK: CHARGE INTO FIRE SAFETY! 🔋⚡
Lithium-ion batteries power many of the things our kids use every day—from phones and tablets to laptops, scooters, hoverboards, and gaming devices. But when batteries are damaged, improperly charged, or stored incorrectly, they can become a serious fire hazard.
Southern Pines Fire & Rescue wants our junior fire-safety experts to put their skills to the test! 🔎🚒 Check out our Lithium-Ion Battery Safety Search & Find and see if your child can spot the safe AND unsafe battery choices hidden in the picture.

👀 How many battery-powered items and hazards can YOU find? After finding each one, decide: Is it a SAFE choice ✅ or an UNSAFE choice ❌?

Learning fire safety can be fun—and charging smart can help keep your family safe!

🔥 It’s Fire Prevention Week, Southern Pines! October 4–10, 2026.

Southern Pines Fire & Rescue encourages everyone to “Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging Is a Superpower!”

From phones and tablets to power tools and electric bikes, lithium-ion batteries power many devices we use every day. Safe charging habits can help protect your family and your home:

🔌 Use the charger supplied or approved by the manufacturer.
📱 Charge on a hard surface. Keep devices off beds, couches and pillows.
🔋 Unplug when fully charged and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
⚠️ Stop using batteries that are unusually hot, swollen, leaking or giving off strange odors.
🚪 Keep charging devices away from exits.

If a battery starts smoking or catches fire, get out, stay out and call 911. Do not try to move a burning device.

Share these reminders with your family and help keep Southern Pines safe!

🚗 NATIONAL SEAT CHECK DAY — SEPTEMBER 26 🚗

Is your child riding in the right seat, in the right way, every ride? National Seat Check Day is the perfect reminder to take a few minutes to check! According to NHTSA, about half of all car seats are installed incorrectly, even when parents and caregivers believe they have them installed properly.

🔎 Give your car seat a quick safety check:

👶 Right Seat: Choose a car seat based on your child’s age, height, and weight, and keep them in each stage until they reach the manufacturer’s limits.

📍 Right Place: Children should ride in the back seat through age 12.

↔️ The Inch Test: Grab the car seat at the belt path. A properly installed seat should move no more than 1 inch side-to-side or front-to-back.

🤏 The Pinch Test: Once your child is buckled in, try to pinch the harness at the shoulder. If you can pinch excess webbing, tighten it up! Keep the chest clip at armpit level.

📖 Check BOTH manuals: Always follow the instructions for your specific car seat and your vehicle.

Not sure if you've got it right? A Certified Child Passenger Safety Technician (CPST) can help check your seat and teach you how to install it correctly.

❤️ A few minutes checking today can help protect your most precious passenger tomorrow.
