Summer Safety

The hot weather is upon us and now is a perfect time to remind ourselves to be safe this summer. Preventing injuries is important any time of the year, but summer offers some unique challenges.

Here are a few tips to help you stay safe this summer…

Pets

• If it is too hot for you, it is too hot for your pets.
• Have extra clean and cool water available all of the time.
• NEVER leave them in a parked car when it is even somewhat warm or pleasant out. And remember, the same goes for children.

Grilling Out

• Do not grill with loose clothing that could come in contact with the grill.
• Do not add lighter fluid to an already lit fire.
• Dispose of hot coals properly.
• Never bring grills indoors, in garages or too close to the house.
• Check hoses for cracks and check air tubes for blockages on gas grills.

Enjoy the warm temperatures of the summer season, but always remember to play it safe
