Fire Prevention Week
October 6-12, 2019
|
|
This year’s FPW campaign, “
Not Every Hero Wears a Cape. Plan and Practice Your Escape!
” works to educate everyone about the small but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe.
In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. Escape planning and practice can help you make the most of the time you have, giving everyone enough time to get out.
Plan ahead for your escape.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.
Breast cancer
is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. Many of the symptoms of breast cancer are invisible and not noticeable without a professional screening like a mammogram or ultrasound. But some symptoms can be caught early just by looking out for certain changes in your breasts and being proactive about your breast health.
For more information about Breast Cancer Awareness Month and how you can help to spread awareness, please click below.

Fall is a time for hay rides, leaf peeping and
pumpkin
picking.
It is also a time when road and weather conditions make getting there a little tougher.
Stay safe on the road this season with these smart driving tips.
|
|
Do not brake on leaves
. Wet leaves can be as slippery as ice. Drive slowly through them and avoid hard braking. Leaves may obscure lane lines and other road markers, so pay attention to the edge of the road and take care to stay in your lane.
Avoid sun glare
. On and near the autumnal equinox, the first 15 to 45 minutes after sunrise and before sunset can make for more difficult driving due to sun glare. The sun perfectly aligns with east/west roadways during this time. Grab a good
pair of sunglasses
for the daytime, keep your windshield clean and use north/south streets or streets with tree cover when possible.
Use your rain smarts
. During fall, many cities see increased rainfall. When it is raining, be sure to maintain a
safe distance from the car in front of you
, as the wet roads may be more slippery than usual and you may be at higher risk of hydroplaning. Use your low beams or fog lights (never high beams) in fog conditions.
Adjust your eyes
. We lose 1 to 2 minutes of daylight daily after the autumnal equinox according to the National Weather Service. After leaving home or the office and before hitting the gas pedal, give your eyes time to adjust to the dark. It takes them between 2 and 5 minutes to start adjusting.
Make sure your vehicle is up to the task
. That means you should:
- Check your tire pressure. Tires lose 1 to 2 pounds of pressure for every 10-degree temperature drop, according to the Utah Safety Council.
- Replace your windshield wipers. A really clean window can help you see when there's glare.
- Adjust your headlights. If your headlights seem too dim, ask your mechanic to make sure they're aligned properly.
