HOLIDAY WEEKEND SAFETY TIPS Here are some additional safety tips continuing from last weeks’ Long Weekend tips. Planning a barbecue? · After the gas connections are made, brush on a 50/50 mix of dish soap and water. · Check all connections for bubbles and if found, retighten connections and test again. · Never leave the barbecue unattended while cooking. · Burns are very painful and can be serious. If burned, hold the injury under cool running water. If unsure about the seriousness of the burn, seek medical attention immediately. Planning a boat ride? · When fueling, moor your boat securely to prevent spills. · Do not become a drowning statistic. · Canadian Red Cross Drowning Report says that hundreds of Canadians drown each year. · Wear your life jacket and PFD properly and fastened at all times when in or on the water.
Planning a motor home/camper trip? · After sitting over the winter, remove and replace the batteries from smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. · If the alarms are 7-10 years of age, replace them. · Vents and chimneys should be inspected and cleaned of any debris such as leaves, pine needles, nests etc. · Obstructed vents and chimneys are a source of carbon monoxide poisoning. Whatever your plans, wherever you go, keep safety in mind and return home safe and sound. For additional information, please visit Gravenhurst.ca/fire or call 705-687-3414.
