Our friends at Safe Kids want you to know how to...
Prepare
Protect
Prevent
Crashes on the road!!!

As we continue to have some winter weather, make sure you know the three P’s of Safe Winter Driving: PREPARE for the trip; PROTECT yourself; and PREVENT crashes on the road.

Traveling Tip: Stock up on materials you may need in case of emergency, such as: a flashlight, jumper cables, abrasive materials (sand, kitty litter, even floor mats), a shovel, a snow brush and ice scraper, warning devices (like flares) and blankets. For long trips: food and water, medication, a cell phone and a car charger.

The Durham Fire Department and the Duke Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Environmental Physiology partner in the fight against
Carbon Monoxide poisoning!

Have your fireplace, heater and other gas burning appliances serviced by a qualified technician every year!

Never warm your car in the garage!

Never use a generator or other small gasoline powered tool inside your home, basement, crawlspace or garage.

Most importantly, make sure you have a working CO alarm in your home!
