Even the chicken got startled with this spooky story…

A fire extinguisher is one of the most important safety tools you can have in your home but only if it’s ready to use.
We recommend having one on every level of your home, plus in high-risk areas like your kitchen and garage. Check the pressure gauge, ensure it’s not expired, and make sure everyone knows where to find it and how to use it.

As we head into the season of frying turkeys and festive feasts, remember never to use water on a grease fire. Always make sure your food is completely thawed before it hits the oil, and use proper safety precautions when cooking.
If a cooking grease fire starts:
• Turn off the heat immediately.
• Smother it with a metal lid or baking sheet.
• Pour baking soda (not flour) on small flames.
• Always keep an ABC extinguisher nearby just in case.
If it’s not safe to fight, get out and call 911.
Stay safe, not smoky this holiday season. 🦃🔥

Last week, UFA crews from Kearns, Taylorsville, and West Valley City Fire, were able to extinguish a house fire before it fully engulfed the home. Residents were able to safely escape but unfortunately their pet dog succumbed to smoke inhalation, despite resuscitative efforts of our firefighters.

Helmets save lives, it’s that simple. Whether it’s a bike, scooter, or one of today’s battery-powered rides, speeds are faster and impacts hit harder. A helmet can be the difference between a close call and a life-changing injury.
And when it comes to e-powered toys, safety doesn’t stop when the ride ends. Always charge lithium batteries on nonflammable surfaces, unplug them once fully charged, and never charge overnight or in direct sunlight. Store them in a cool, dry place away from flammable materials.
Ride smart. Gear up. Charge safe.
