With additional Lake Effect Snow forecasted for our area over the next day, here are a few winter safety tips:
1. 🚒 Help us out and keep hydrants clear of snow, you never know when it might be needed!

2. ❄️ Also, remember to keep furnace vents along your house clear to allow them to work properly and not build up deadly Carbon Monoxide (CO) inside your home!

3. 🔥 Keep a 3-foot radius clear around your space heater. Keep it away from curtains, furniture, and anything that could potentially catch fire.
4. ⚠️ Never stick your hands in a running snow blower to clear a jam!

Important!! Keep your vents clear! – at Cheektowaga, NY
Make sure you clear your vents! Mine went from fine to completely drifted over in a couple of hours. Photo on the right is after I dug them out. @wgrz

Remember, as you dig out today, take five extra minutes to clear your nearest fire hydrant.
Plows are out clearing streets and snow can easily get pushed up and over a hydrant.
You or your neighbors will be grateful if it’s needed in an emergency. @wgrz
