This year’s Fire Prevention Week theme, “Charge into Fire Safety™,” focuses on the safe use of lithium-ion batteries, a growing cause of fires.

Follow these key steps to reduce risk:
• Buy only certified products
• Charge devices with approved chargers on hard surfaces and avoid overcharging
• Recycle batteries properly — not using a trash or regular recycling bin. Instead, find a safe location at call2recyle.org

Participate in Fire Prevention Week, October 5–11, and support your community by spreading awareness. Learn more at fpw.org.

Winter is starting to make its appearance! ❄️ Remember, always plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet, one per outlet only. Never plug multiple heat-producing appliances into the same outlet. For more heating safety: http://nfpa.social/Zta150Q52JM

Deer are on the road this time of year and they aren't thinking about traffic!

IF YOU SEE A DEER: Don't swerve! Brake but do not swerve into oncoming traffic.
IF YOU HIT A DEER: Move your vehicle to a safe place and call 911.
DO NOT APPROACH: Deer are wild animals and can be dangerous when injured of frightened.

HELPFUL TIPS:
Stay alert and keep your eyes on and around the road.
Deer don't travel alone so If you see one, there are most likely others nearby.
Deer are more likely to be on the roads at sunrise and sunset. Use extra caution driving during these times.
