Pro tip: Figure out now if the closest urgent care is in network…My wife needed urgent care Sunday night due to a laceration- wasn’t fun applying pressure while navigating a website of providers. #HealthInsurance

There are more carcinogenic, flammable chemicals around us than ever before. Fires are spreading faster than ever. We MUST eliminate these toxins from use — not only to protect fire fighters, but to protect our children and their children.

Disaster can strike at any time, and it's crucial that emergency communications reach everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or income level.

[Fire Fighter @firefightaction]

Ensuring equity in emergency communications means working to remove barriers and provide equal access to information and resources for all members of our community.

#18WatchOutSituations – #18. Taking a nap near the fireline. Firefighting is often exhausting work and #firefighters can find themselves needing to sleep while on the fireline. To reduce the risks, post lookouts and rotate them.

In an emergency, a weather radio can be a lifesaver. It provides critical information about storms, tornadoes, and other hazards. Don't be caught without one. #weatherpreparedness #weatherradio

[Fire Fighter @firefightaction]

Evacuation orders are not issued lightly. They are issued when a danger or potential danger to your home and community is imminent. Heed the warnings and follow the instructions to ensure your safety.

[Fire Fighter @firefightaction]

When an evacuation order is issued, it is for your safety and the safety of your community. Ignoring it puts you and others at risk. Listen and act on evacuation orders to protect yourself and your loved ones.
