Fire Prevention Month – October

Home fires in Gwinnett have tragically resulted in nine lives lost this year. While our firefighters continue to respond to every emergency with dedication and commitment, we know that the most effective way to prevent these tragedies is through community awareness. With October being Fire Prevention Month, we want to stress the importance of home fire safety. Many people think flames are the biggest threat during a fire, but it’s actually smoke. Smoke inhalation can lead to disorientation, suffocation, unconsciousness, and death. When it comes to fire, seconds truly matter. Smoke can spread through a home in moments and knowing how to react…

Healthy Habits For Cold & Flu Season

Spending more time indoors and in close contact with people is one reason for the increase spread of viruses during the fall and winter. The cooler, drier air also makes it easier for respiratory viruses, like the common cold and flu, to replicate, according to the National Library of Medicine. That’s why handwashing is so important to prevent the spread of germs and viruses. Our medical directors Dr. Patrick McDougal and Dr. Neha Verma discuss why proper hygiene is important in limiting the spread of the cold and flu. Watch Video : https://vimeo.com/1122295799?share=copy

Space Heaters – SafetyTips

Cooler nights are here, and space heaters often come out of storage. But here’s the risk: space heaters are one of the leading causes of home heating fires. Here’s your 2-minute safety check: • Keep space heaters at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn, like curtains, bedding, or furniture. • Always plug space heaters directly into a wall outlet — never an extension cord. • Turn them off before leaving the room or going to bed. Give your heater a little extra space and keep your home warm and safe. Comment “Done” if you completed today’s safety check. For more…

Fire safety starts at home, and it starts today. Here are a few steps from our new PSA to help protect your children: • Test smoke alarms every month • Show kids two ways out of each room • Pick a safe meeting place outside • Teach kids: once outside, stay outside and never go back inside the home…
