🚒💻 HAPPY IT PROFESSIONALS DAY! 💻🚒

Our IT professionals make sure our systems are secure, our data is protected, our networks are running, and our passwords are approximately 47 characters long, require a capital letter, a number, a symbol, our first pet’s name, and apparently a blood sample.

They fight cyber threats so we can fight actual fires… and somehow still manage to make us restart the computer before they’ll even look at it. 🤣

📞 “My computer isn’t working.”

💻 “Did you restart it?”

📞 “No.”

💻 “Restart it.”

📞 “…Fine.”

Thank you to our IT Department for keeping the digital flames under control, keeping the hackers out, and patiently dealing with firefighters who are convinced that turning it off and back on should be enough.

September is here, and we are in full Fire Prevention Friday mode! Did you know that Carbon Monoxide (CO) detectors in the home save lives? Everyone knows how important smoke alarms are, but carbon monoxide detectors are just as important in keeping your homes safe.

CO is an odorless, colorless and tasteless gas that is produced from the burning of fuels inside and outside the home. This is especially important if your home uses propane or natural gas for heating, drying, or cooking. Please save and share the attached Safety Tip sheet to learn more about Carbon Monoxide detectors.

Have a great Fire Prevention Friday!

Hoarding has become an increased risk in communities across the United States, so much so they have made TV shows about it. It is not about having a collection of something, it is about the safety around the house when the collection becomes a hazard. When a person cannot easily get out of the home in an emergency because of what has been collected and stored in it, we have entered into the realm of hoarding. This becomes a danger to both the people living there and to those that respond there in an emergency. Please see the attached Safety Tip Sheet for more information and feel free to save and share it.

Be safe, Loganville

Rechargeable batteries….without them we wouldn’t have many of the conveniences we have today. Lithium batteries have changed our world because they are smaller and more powerful than the old Ni-Cad batteries. But let’s be safe when using them. We can do things like: buying only properly listed batteries and chargers from reputable sources, ensuring those smaller devices are charged on a hard surface, charging larger devices like e-bikes outside, only using chargers specifically made for that device. Check out this Safety Tip Sheet for ways to prevent lithium-ion battery fires.

Hope the summer has recharged your batteries, Loganville!

Swimming, sitting around the pool, maybe even soaking in a hot tub……summers are the time for water-related fun. But look around your pool to ensure the fun isn’t short-lived. Being electrically safe around the pool or hot tub is both easy and important to do. To ensure that the cold pool water is the only shock you get, here is a Safety Tip Sheet about Electricity and Pool Safety.

Stay cool and safe, Loganville!
