Stay warm AND safe as temperatures "fall" (pun intended) this week! Remember: Portable heaters need their space. Keep flammable items like blankets, rugs, or furniture at least three feet away from space heaters and wood stoves.

While many people seek to help during times of disaster, unfortunately there is also an increased risk for scams and fraud. Disasters attract scammers and "storm chasers" who seek to capitalize on a community's hardships. facebook.com/share/p/1FDVwNM…

Remember to charge large items like e-bikes, scooters, and power tools outside when possible. Do not block exits when charging. These batteries store more energy, and fires can grow quickly if they fail. #FirePreventionWeek

With rain finally in the forecast this weekend, we're reminding Tennesseans to remember that your traditional homeowners policy won't cover the cost of flood recovery, if you're affected by a flood.
