All of Massachusetts faces a heightened risk of outdoor fires. Almost any significant outdoor fire can put people & homes in danger and almost all of them are preventable. PLEASE refrain from any activity involving sparks, flames, or heat sources outdoors: ow.ly/Z3kh50TYQye

This weekend the @MAFireDistrict7 Regional Dive Team conducted airbag training floating a submerged vehicle to the surface for recovery. This training vehicle offers members the opportunity to dive into a submerged vehicle which poses significant risks without proper training.

.@OFD563 recently fought a house fire that started with an extension cord. Extension cords should be temporary conveniences, not a replacement for a wall outlet. Dispose of damaged extension cords, and never connect them to each other or to power strips: ow.ly/5IFT50Qqm3J

With snow on the way, remember that snow drifts can block furnace and dryer exhaust vents, forcing #CarbonMonoxide (CO) to build up inside homes. CO is poisonous to people and pets. Be sure to clear these areas of snow and test your CO alarms monthly to be sure you're protected!
ALT Photo of an exhaust vent in the snow with safety messaging: Fuel burning appliances such as furnaces, boilers, and fireplaces release carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas we can't see, smell, or taste If snowdrifts block exhaust vents outside, CO can rise to deadly levels inside Keep exhaust vents and flues clear of snow

The #1 cause of dryer fires is a failure to clean them. Dryer lint is like tinder! If you have a dryer, be sure to clean the lint filter every time you use it and have ductwork cleaned at least once a year. Keep boxes, aerosols, and other flammable items away from the appliance.
