LONG WEEKEND SAFETY The August Long Weekend is almost here and what are your plans? Planning a barbecue? · · · ·
Be sure all gas connections are tight and not leaking. Do not leave the appliance unattended while cooking. Do not wear baggy or loose fitting clothing (sleeves) while cooking. Provide a 3 ft. “Safe Zone” around the barbecue where kids do not enter. Planning a boat ride? · · · ·
When fueling, shut off all engines and electrical/power supplies. Extinguish any open flames. Obey the “DO NOT SMOKE” signage. Run the engine compartment blower for at least 4 minutes immediately before starting the engine to eliminate any excessive vapours.
Planning a motor home/camper road trip? · Give the vehicle and all its’ accessories such as smoke and carbon monoxide alarms a complete inspection and testing. · If transporting propane cylinders, be sure they are secured in the upright position to prevent tipping over. · Check all chimneys/ventilation systems if so equipped, making sure there are no blockages such as leaves, nests or other debris. · Check, clean and test your smoke and co alarms. Replace the batteries if equipped and/or replace the devices if 10 years of age.
Whatever your plans, be careful, enjoy the weekend and come home safe. For additional information please visit Gravenhurst.ca/fire or call 705-687-3414
