Halloween is one of our favorite nights of the year, but it’s also one of the busiest for emergency responders. To keep your trick-or-treaters safe, our crew put together these essential safety tips:
🎃See and Be Seen: Give kids flashlights or glow sticks and add reflective tape to costumes. Avoid masks that block their vision.
🎃Prevent trips: Make sure shoes and costumes fit well and are short enough to avoid tripping.
🎃Street Smarts: Always cross at corners or crosswalks. Never dart out between parked cars and keep your phones in your pockets while walking.
🎃Drive with Caution: If you're on the road, slow down significantly in neighborhoods and watch for excited kids.
🎃Check the Haul: Inspect all candy at home. Throw away anything unsealed or torn before letting the kids dig in.
🎃For the adults: Before drinking, choose a designated driver, or schedule a ridesharing, or taxi service. If you drink, do not drive for any reason. Even a small amount of alcohol can affect driving ability.
Have a fun, safe, and spooky night! 🚑🍬
