Safety Corner: Summer
As published in the Herald, August 2003
With the coming of summer there are a few safety measures to keep in mind to have a “Safe and Sane Summer.” As such I do offer the following food for summertime thought:
- This may sound funny but for any kind of emergency or injury dial 9-1-1.
- In many Western States due to dry vegetation, fire works are restricted or illegal. Be aware of the local laws and regulations governing the use of fireworks in your area.
- Campfires are only allowed in designated fire rings in many western states, always monitor your fire and ensure the fire is cold before you leave it.
- Many states have “Fire Danger Ratings.” Be aware of the rating before burning yard trash or other waist products.
- Keep overgrown vegetation cut back 25 to 50 feet in rural areas to keep your Estates safe from wildland fires.
- Hot charcoal from Bar-be-cueing also need to be soaked in water until cold, never throw Bar-be-cue ash in a trash can if it is still dry. There is a possibility it may be hot enough to start a trash fire.
- Bar-be-cues and hibachis should never be used indoors, or tents as oxygen is depleted and replaced by deadly carbon monoxide.
- Keep lanterns, candles, camp stoves, matches, and lighters in good repair, and away from small children and any combustible material.
- When swimming, never leave children unattended. Keep floatation devices close at hand. Be a responsible adult.
- When boating always wear and have on hand an approved personal floatation device.
- Always wear your helmet when riding any type of transportation that may require you it.
