It's pouring out there! Avoiding being on the road is the safest bet. However, if you must drive, here are 5 tips for driving safely in the rain: 🌧️ SLOW DOWN! Drive slower than the speed limit. Speed limits are set for ideal weather conditions, not wet and slippery roads. 🌧️ Turn around, don't drown! Never drive through flood waters. It takes only inches of water to wash away a car. 🌧️ Turn on your headlights when driving in rainy weather. This helps other vehicles see you. 🌧️ Give everyone some extra space. Increase your following distance from other cars. The roads are slick and you may slide. 🌧️ Avoid sudden braking and turning. Sudden abrupt moving can case you to lose control of your vehicle. #weather #weathersafety #ifd #irving #traffic #trafficsafety #road #safety #fire #firefighter #drivesafely

👨‍🍳 🥓 🛍️ Do you put groceries on your stove when you come home from the store? Maybe lay the oven mitt on top of the range after you take the cookies out of the oven? Keep ANYTHING that can catch fire away from your stove top! A burner may be accidentally turned on or malfunction and could start a fire. Be safe and be smart! #fire #cooking #cookingsafety #irving #ifd #firefighter #firesafety #education

If you smoke, never smoke in bed or while drowsy. Smoking is the leading cause of home fire deaths. Smoke outside, and put cigarettes out all the way every time. #fire #firesafety #irving #ifd #firefighter #home #homesafety

Lithium batteries are in devices that we use everyday, like smart phones, tablets, and laptops. These batteries are sensitive to heat and can catch fire if they get too hot. Be sure to keep your devices out of hot cars and direct sunlight! #fire #firesafety #ifd #irving #firefighter #litiumbatteries #phone #tablet #iphone #ipad #laptop #lithium
