Winter is well on it’s way and we should all be prepared! The Bedford Park Fire Department recommends our top ten safety tips for this winter.
Tip #1: Avoid slips, trips, and falls; keep side walks and stairs clear with deicer, manage extension cords, and keep your cell phone with you when outside.
Tip #2: Be aware of holiday related fire hazards: portable heaters, candles, and over loaded power strips.
Tip #3: Gather supplies for power outages in cold weather as well as an emergency kit for your car. Links below for emergency kits.
Tip #4: Ensure working order of carbon monoxide alarms. Over 400 deaths can be prevented every year from a working CO alarm.
Tip #5: Keep extra clothing or a thick sleeping bag in your car incase of break down.
Tip #6: Stay off roads during bad weather if you are able to do so.
Tip #7: Use generators outside only and away from windows and home openings.
Tip #8: Prevent pipes from freezing. If using a heat source, never leave unattended.
Tip #9: Avoid risk of heart attack, do not over exert yourself shoveling snow.
Tip #10: Keep the cold out of the home with insulation techniques.
