PSA: The only time you should remove the batteries from your smoke alarm is when you're replacing them. Period! Batteries can cause fires, but the ones in your smoke alarm can save your life. This Fire Prevention Week, protect your family and pets by creating a home fire escape plan, practicing a two-minute fire drill, and testing your smoke alarms to make sure they're working properly. #FirePreventionWeek

LATEST DROUGHT REPORT: last week's rain helped a little, but we're still, at best, considered abnormally dry with some areas still seeing varying levels of drought. 🚫🔥Open burning is still a bad idea.

🔥🌬️Low humidity and gusty winds will result in an elevated risk of fire spread today, especially along and south of I-80. 🫵99% of wildfires in PA are caused by humans. Only YOU can prevent wildfires! #PAwx

You can donate whole blood every 56 days with the Red Cross. With colder temperatures, they recommend giving a Power Red donation, which allows people to safely donate two units of red blood cells during one donation. trib.al/8jfdo5x

A winter storm is expected to impact many parts of the central and eastern U.S. this weekend and early next week, bringing dangerously cold temperatures and several feet of snow. Stay safe by avoiding excessive outdoor activities and travel, stocking up on essential supplies like food and water, and knowing where to go if your home becomes too cold.
