As cold mornings approach, never start your car in the garage — even with the door open.

Carbon monoxide can't be seen or smelled, but it can be deadly. Here's how to stay safe. 🥶⤵️

This Crash Responder Safety Week, remember: when you see flashing lights on the side of the road, state laws require you to Slow Down, Move Over.

Giving responders a safe buffer takes just a few seconds, but it gives crews the space they need to return home SAFELY after every shift. 🚨🚘

*Move Over laws vary by state
