Fun Fire Fact Friday! Have you ever thought to yourself, "How loud is a fire truck horn?"
Approximately 150 decibels. 👀
Some departments opt to use air horns on their fire trucks to alert motorists and pedestrians to clear the way. They are also used on the scene of a fire to gain the attention of civilians in the area and as an evacuation alert for firefighters.
Safety tip for the day! Remember that plugging in high-power-consuming appliances through an extension cord or through a surge protector is not a safe practice. It won't happen often, but accidents do happen where the cord or outlet can overheat and spark,
which can cause a fire whether you are present or not. Examples include: Fridge Space Heater Electric blanket Air Fryer Dryer Dishwasher Coffee Maker Hot Tub Window Air Conditioner Any type of pump These items should ALWAYS be plugged in directly to an outlet.
