Spring Safety Tips
  • Replace your smoke detector batteries.
  • Inspect barbeque grills prior to use.  Check hoses and tanks for
    leaks.  Leave enough room between the grill and buildings,
    trees, fences, and other objects.  Never leave barbeque grills
    unattended.
  • Fuel landscaping equipment and other gas-powered tools
    outside.  Gasoline should only be stored in an approved
    container, and should never be stored indoors.
  • Dispose of old paint, gasoline, and oils properly.  Bring them to
    the Highway Department for proper disposal.  NEVER pour them
    down a storm drain.
  • Supervise children playing outside.  Helmets and proper
    protective equipment should be worn when bike riding and
    playing sports.
  • Read labels and instructions prior to using pesticides and
    fertilizer.  Store in proper containers and keep proper distance
    from other chemicals.
