Spring & Summer Fire Safety Tips

Allow your tractor or lawn mower to cool down outside before being stored in a shed or garage.
Clean and clear your mower or tractor of all accumulated lawn debris prior to storage, as dried grass near heated areas may cause a fire.
Keep gas and fuel containers stored in well-ventilated outdoor storage areas.
Have your tractor or mower serviced by a professional maintenance technician.
Install and test smoke alarms in your garage and storage areas.
Keep a fire extinguisher near and/or mounted on garage walls, kitchen areas and outdoor grills.
Test your home smoke alarms monthly.
Take the time to discuss and develop a home fire drill with all family members.
Schedule a professional technician to service your air conditioning unit.
Check the exhaust hoses on your clothes dryers for accumulated lint.
