Hitting the road for the holidays? 🚗🎄 If you’re staying in a hotel, take a moment to learn the fire escape plan. ✔️ Locate the nearest exits ✔️ Count the number of doors to the exit ✔️ Know where the stairs are—never use elevators during a fire

Did you know flooding can happen fast during heavy rain, especially near rivers, streams & low-lying areas? 🚗 Never drive, walk or swim through floodwaters as roads may be washed out beneath the surface ⬆️ Move to higher ground if water arises ✔️ Turn around, don't drown!

🕯️ #DYK More than one-third of home decoration fires are started by candles? This holiday season, consider using battery-powered flameless candles. They provide the same warm, festive glow—without the fire risk. 🎄✨

Never overload outlets, power strips, or extension cords. Plugging too many devices into one outlet can cause overheating and increase the risk of a home fire. Always plug high-wattage appliances directly into a wall outlet and use extension cords only when necessary.
