OCFD's Tip for Tuesday September 8, 2026:
Be alert for wildlife on roadways.
Wildlife is on the move in the fall, so watch carefully for deer, turkeys and other critters crossing the road in front of your vehicle. They are most active from dusk through dawn.
Remember that some animals — deer in particular — frequently travel in groups. If you see one crossing, more are bound to follow.

OCFD's Tip for Thursday September 3, 2026:
This Labor Day weekend: Don’t Let Water Fun Turn Dangerous
With the warm weather pools, lakes, rivers, and splash pads are still busy and water accidents remain a major risk. A few extra minutes of caution can prevent a lifetime of regret.

Even confident swimmers can get tired or caught off guard. Designate a “water watcher” at all times.

Teach kids to always ask for permission before entering water, swim with a buddy, and stay in sight of an adult.

Utilize properly fitted, Coast Guard–approved life jackets when near deep water, even if the child or adult can swim.

Fence in backyard pools with self-latching gates and remove ladders when pools are not in use.

CPR training can make the difference in an emergency.

OCFD's Tip for Thursday August 27, 2026:
Car crashes are the No. 1 cause of death for teens. Fortunately, there is something we can do.

● Teens crash because they are inexperienced; practice with new drivers every week, before and after they get their license

● Set a good example; drive the way you want your teen to drive.

OCFD's Tip for Wednesday August 26, 2026:
Schools often have very specific drop-off procedures for the school year. Make sure you know them for the safety of all kids. The following apply to all school zones:

● Don't double park; it blocks visibility for other children and vehicles

● Don't load or unload children across the street from the school

● Carpool to reduce the number of vehicles at the school
