TIME TO GET GRILLING Summer time is grilling time! While there’s nothing better during the warmer months than walking away from the stove for the benefits of outdoor cooking, there are a few things to keep in mind when using a grill, especially in an apartment complex. . . Keep the grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in the trays below the grills. Never leave the grill unattended. Always make sure your gas grill lid is open before lighting it. Make certain that the grill is stable and level. Use insulated, flame retardant mitts, barbeque tongs and utensils when grilling. Store and secure propane tanks outside the apartment – unattached to the grill unit when not in use. Never store the propane tank under or near the grill. Turn off the fuel supply to the grill first, then the burners when grilling is finished. Check the grill regularly for signs of wear and tear, especially hose cracks and leaks. Know where the fire extinguisher is in the building stairwell, and how to properly use it.
Every year 20 – 30 people are injured in the approximate 600 grill fires that take place nationwide. Additionally, over $27 million dollars in property damage have been caused by these fires. Let’s play it safe this grilling season and safely enjoy the benefits of having a grill.
Reminder! With the warmer weather, more people are out and about. Please be cautious of pedestrians in the streets and drives around our property. Maximum speed in the parking lot areas should be 10 mph. ACPM Disaster Preparedness Being prepared is important, not only in a disaster or emergency, but also for things that can happen while away from home. With the warmer weather, many people are choosing to get outside and going camping or hiking. While this is certainly a wonderful way to enjoy the beauty of Idaho, there are ways you can be prepared, should you get lost while hiking. Remember the word, STOP! S – Stay calm. If you panic, you will not think rationally. Take slow deep breaths and try to retrace your steps. If you are 100% certain you can’t retrace your steps to where you came from, stay where you are and stop walking. Sit down, drink some water and think things over, staying calm and positive. T – Think. Now that you are calm, take time to look around and think about how you got to where you are and how to get back. Walking around isn’t good because it will waste your energy and can confuse you further. O - Observe. If you have a map, get it out and start looking for landmarks. Do you recognize any specific plants, trees or rocks that were unique while hiking in? P – Plan. Prioritize your needs. Eat and rest if you need to. If you decide to leave your spot for any reason, make certain to mark your way with piles of sticks or rocks or strips of cloth. No food or bread crumbs (think Hansel and Gretel). People will come looking for you, which is why it is crucial to always let people know where you are going and to not hike alone. It’s a good idea to carry a whistle with you so that you can blow it to be heard by those searching. While this may seem silly, you’ll be thankful you have one should you get lost Don’t leave the trail if you don’t have to. Pay close attention to land marks as you go. While this may seem silly, you’ll be thankful you have one should you get lost. The leading cause of death for lost hikers is dehydration, so be sure to carry water with you when you go hiking and have some extra along for good measure. No one plans to get lost, however, by being prepared and knowing what to do, you can help yourself should you become lost.
