Fire season

PG&E (West Coast USA) is doing rolling blackouts to prevent fires. House fires can be caused by faulty electrical appliances, open fires and heaters, or unattended cooking. Smoke alarms are essential for home fire safety. It’s also a very good idea to have a fire extinguisher and fire blanket at home. A home fire escape plan helps your family know what to do and where to go in a fire emergency at home. Don’t forget to have a disaster preparedness box or backpack according to the possible hazards in your area. Tweezers are always good to have on hand, but many other things as well. Stay safe out there!
