Keep your cooking area clutter-free! Move anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from the cooking area, including oven mitts, towels, wooden utensils and food packaging. #FirePreventionWeek bit.ly/2WqI7R8

Keep little ones safe when you’re cooking! Create a “kid-free zone” of at least 3 feet around the stove and areas where hot food or drinks are being prepared or carried. #FirePreventionWeek bit.ly/2XtNrzK

When you enter a place of business of any kind, do you check for exits? Its always great practice to know where all exits are and to plan a way out. If you're in your home, friends home, or place of business, always plan for two ways out! #twowaysout #firefighter #CRR

With the hottest weather of the year upon us, PLEASE be sure to care for yourself and others. Don't spend more time than needed outside and don't leave children or pets outside for extended amounts of time. BE SURE TO STAY HYDRATED!!

Every day, Doctors are on the front lines of Healthcare. If it were shoulder pain or a broken wrist, Doctors are there for us. During trying times like these, Doctors are there too. They know the risks of what they may be exposing themselves to, and go anyway. Thank You!
