Here are some helpful tips to get you through
Thanksgiving safe and sound!
Traveling
Many families will be on the road traveling to visit
friends and relatives for Thanksgiving. Please remember not to use your cell
phone when you are driving. It is best to always pull over if you need to talk
on the phone. And it is especially important to never text and drive. It only
takes seconds for an accident to occur so keep your eyes on the road.
Distracted drivers and any harsh weather conditions can be a recipe for
disaster. So remember- keep alert and dial 9-1-1 if you find yourself in an
emergency situation.
Cooking
One of the best parts of Thanksgiving is all the
delicious dishes created by loved ones! When preparing yummy dishes, please
remember to be safe. Below you can find important information on fire-safe
cooking from the National
Fire Protection Association. Remember; if a fire occurs please do not hesitate
to dial 9-1-1 for help!

Safety
Be smart if you plan to travel away from your home for
the holidays. Do not post that you are going to be out of town on any social
media sites. Secure all windows and doors so there is no easy entry into your
home and set an alarm system if you have one. If you can, have a friend move
your car occasionally while you are gone so it looks like someone is home.
Thieves love to prey on easy targets so please do not be an easy target and
keep your home safe.
