Whether it's breakfast in bed, a barbeque in the backyard or a four-course meal, if you're cooking for #mom this #MothersDay, keep fire safety in mind.

More than 1/2 of child fire deaths are among children age 4 or younger - making them an important audience for fire prevention & education. That’s why we collaborated with @SesameWorkshop on the @sesamestreet Fire Safety Program for preschool kids. https://t.co/bYv29R3zz9

Matches and lighters are tools for adults ONLY. It is normal for children to be curious about fire, so always ensure that your matches and lighters are in a locked drawer or on your person at all times if you have a curious child. #onfirecode #FireSafety

If you are using a fireplace or woodstove for heat:
✅Allow ashes to cool before disposing of them.
✅Place ashes in a tightly covered metal container & keep the container at least 10 feet away from the home.
✅Never empty the ashes directly into a trash can.

Good idea!! #adoptahydrant

[U.S. Fire (USFA) @usfire]

Would firefighters be able to quickly access the hydrant nearest your home in an emergency?
Leave no doubt, shovel it out!

⬇️ Keep the pile small, not tall
