As we all prepare for the Thanksgiving holiday and the shopping frenzy that accompanies the holiday season, we want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable holiday:
o This largest traveled holiday accounts for the most fatalities, so don’t text and drive! Taking your eyes off the road for just a second or two (2) can have tragic consequences.
o Don’t answer your cell phone while driving. Let your cell phone take a message and pull off the road to answer your calls.
o Wear your seat belt! Seat belts are proven to save lives and prevent injuries. Make sure children are secured in an approved child safety seat.
o Don’t Drink and Drive, use a Designated Driver!
o Never leave cooking food unattended. Turkey fryers are for outdoor use away from combustible structures.
o If the contents in a pot or pan catch fire, do not touch or try to move the pot or pan as you may spread the fire or burn yourself. Extinguish the flames with a metal lid, larger pot or fire extinguisher. Never use water on a grease fire. Extinguish the flames with a metal lid, larger pot or a fire extinguisher.
o Keep holiday decorations away from heat sources such as stoves, candles or heaters. In the event of a fire or medical emergency, call 911.
Have a safe and wonderful Thanksgiving!
Eyes and mind on task, 24/7!
