Winter Fire Safety

12/2/2020

Comments

Hundreds of fires a year occur during Winter Holiday Months, here are some helpful safety tips to help prevent a tragedy from happening to you.

1. If you have a live Christmas Tree make sure to water it every day. If you have an artificial tree make sure it is fire resistant.
2. Never use frayed lights or lights with broken sockets, throw them away.
3. Unplug your lights if you are leaving or going to bed.
4. Place burning candles away from flammable items & never leave them unattended.
5. Place holiday decorations, trees, candles, etc. away from heat sources such as heaters, fireplaces, heat vents.
6. Never leave a space heater plugged in unattended or while you're sleeping. You should buy a space heater with tip-over protection & overheat protection.

Now is also a great time to make sure all your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are working! Test them out & replace batteries as needed.

No one ever really knows when a fire will happen, so it is best to be prepared. In addition to having an evacuation plan it is a great idea to take pictures & create a list of all your belongings just in case.

Have a Happy & Safe Holidays!

National Hand Washing Awareness Week

12/1/2020

Comments

If we've learned anything this past year it is Wash Your Hands!

The first week of December is National Hand Washing Awareness Week! 80% of communicable diseases can be spread by touch, these include the common cold, the flu, pneumonia, and Covid-19. So how often should you wash your hands? Always wash your hands before & after you eat, after you use the restroom, after you sneeze, cough, or blow your nose, & honestly, several times throughout the day. How long should you wash your hands? Wash them for at least 20 to 30 seconds in order for them to actually get clean; you can sing a favorite song while you wash! If you do not have access to water & soap you can use hand sanitizer, just make sure you use enough & allow it to dry in order for it to kill germs! Won't all this hand washing & hand sanitizer dry your hands out especially during these winter months? You can & should use moisturizing lotion on your hands to prevent them from becoming chapped! Now more than ever it is important to wash your hands & wash them correctly!

Basic Hand Washing:
1. Get your hands wet with clean, running water, turn off the water to save water, & apply soap.
2. Lather up by rubbing the hands together with the soap. Be sure to lather the backs of your hands, between your fingers, and under your nails.
3. Scrub your hands for at least 20 seconds. Sing a song to help you keep track of time.
4. Rinse under clean, running water. Dry your hands with a clean towel or air.

Help stop the spread of germs & wash your hands!
