Merry Christmas! Special thanks to all those who are protecting their communities this Holiday Season. Thank you and Stay Safe.

[YK Firefighters @IAFF2890]

As fire fighters and paramedics, we are trained to see the potential dangers behind the scenes as home fires increase exponentially during the holiday season. A combination of live trees, fires, lights and candles – plus alcohol – can quickly turn into a recipe for disaster.

Lest we forget. They gave their today for your tomorrow.

Two-thirds of home fire deaths result from broken smoke alarms. Check your smoke alarms when you change the clock. #IAFF #IAFFSafetyTips

On June 30, we remember the 19 Prescott, Arizona, fire fighters who died in the line of duty when they were overcome by a fast-moving wildfire near Yarnell. The 2013 loss was the greatest loss of fire fighter life in a single incident since September 11.

Make sure this summer leaves nothing but fun memories. Create safety rules for the whole family. #IAFFsafetytips
