Grilling Safety Reminder:

Summer is here, even though it doesn't feel like it today, and that means it's BBQ season! Whether you’re flipping burgers or grilling veggies, we want to make sure your cookouts stay safe and fire-free.

Here are some important grilling safety tips to keep in mind:
✅ Grill outdoors only – Never use a grill inside a garage, tent, or under an overhang.
✅ Keep it clear – Place grills well away from siding, deck railings, and overhanging branches.
✅ Stay nearby – Never leave your grill unattended while in use.
✅ Check for leaks – If you're using a gas grill, inspect the hose for cracks, holes, or leaks before each use.
✅ Clean regularly – Built-up grease and fat are a common cause of flare-ups.
✅ Have a fire extinguisher nearby – Just in case things get too hot to handle.

Each year, thousands of fires are caused by home grilling. Let’s work together to keep our community safe. If you ever have questions about fire safety, don’t hesitate to reach out. Have a fun and safe grilling season, everyone!

WE CAN'T HELP YOU IF WE CAN'T FIND YOU!

When every second counts, a clearly visible house number can make all the difference.

We can’t stress this enough: please make sure your address is clearly visible from the road — especially at night. Emergency responders rely on house numbers to quickly locate homes during fires, medical emergencies, and other urgent situations.

✅ Ensure numbers are large and easy to read
✅ Use reflective or illuminated numbers whenever possible
✅ Keep numbers visible from both directions of travel
✅ Trim trees, shrubs, or other obstructions that may block visibility
✅ Check that your numbers can be seen clearly after dark

A few minutes spent improving your address visibility today could save valuable time during an emergency tomorrow.

Take a walk or drive past your property tonight and ask yourself: Could emergency responders find my home quickly?

Help us help you. Make sure your address stands out!

Thank you for spending part of your day with us. Keep being fire safety superheroes, and we hope to see you again soon! 🚒🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Thank you to the Humboldt Fire Department, Firefighter Mike, and Fire Helper Katherine for a wonderful visit to the fire station! Through songs, movement activities, and hands-on learning, HPS Kindergarten students learned what to do in the event of a fire, the important role firefighters play in our community, and the equipment they use to keep us safe. We appreciate the time you took to share your knowledge and make learning so much fun!

🔥 Increase Risk of Fire Conditions: Understanding “Crossover” Fire Behavior 🔥

When the temperature climbs above 30°C, wind speeds increase, and relative humidity drops below 30%, wildfire conditions can rapidly become dangerous. This is often referred to as “crossover” fire behavior — a point where heat, wind, and dry air combine to create fast-moving, aggressive fire activity.

During the next few days Humboldt will be under crossover conditions, fires can:
🔥 Spread extremely quickly
🔥 Change direction unexpectedly
🔥 Produce intense heat and long-range spotting
🔥 Become difficult to control in a short amount of time

Even a small spark from equipment, vehicles, campfires, burning debris, or ci******es can lead to a serious wildfire.

⚠️ During these conditions:
• Avoid unnecessary outdoor burning
• Use extreme caution with equipment that creates sparks
• Properly extinguish ci******es and campfires
• Keep water and firefighting tools nearby
• Report smoke or fire immediately

One careless moment can have devastating consequences for crops, pasture, homes, and communities.

Stay alert. Stay prepared. Help prevent wildfires. 🔥
