Seniors Aware of Fire Education

Fire Safety

Spring is finally here and we love getting out in it, even with the Spring chores. Here's a couple of ideas on how to enjoy spring safely:

• Fill your mower with gas when the engine is cool.
• Store gasoline outside the house, in a detached garage or shed.
• If you get gas on your clothing, remember it's the gas vapor that is flammable, so wash them as soon as possible.
• Store gas only in the RED containers marked for gasoline.
• Do not start cooking fires with gasoline.
• It's supposed to be another bad year for ticks, so cover up and spray before going out for a hike or yard work.
• Check for ticks on you when coming in from being in the great outdoors.
