🔥 Safe Grilling Starts with Distance

Did you know? Most grill fires happen because the grill is too close to a structure.
✔ Keep grills at least 10 feet away from homes, decks, railings, and overhanging branches.
✔ Never grill inside garages, porches, or under carports—even with doors open.
📘 Code Reference: 2021 IFC §308.1 & §308.1.4 – Open-flame cooking devices shall not be operated in hazardous locations or near combustible construction.

Learn CPR and Emergency Response

Knowing CPR can mean the difference between life and death. In a water emergency, seconds matter. Learn CPR, keep rescue equipment nearby, and call 911 immediately if someone is in trouble. Preparation before summer starts can save a life when it counts.

Secure Pools and Prevent Access

Most childhood drownings happen when adults think kids can’t reach the water. Install four-sided fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates. Keep doors and gates locked, and remove toys from pools when not in use to reduce temptation. Layers of protection matter.

Life Jackets Are Not Optional
Life jackets save lives — every time.
Children and weak swimmers should wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket around pools, docks, and all open water. Inflatable toys and floaties are not safety devices. When in doubt, wear the vest.
