FOUR BEEPS. ONE URGENT MESSAGE.
Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless, and potentially deadly.

🔊 4 beeps = CO emergency!
🏠 Get everyone outside immediately.
📞 Call 911. Stay outside.

Carbon monoxide gives no warning. Your alarm does. Know the sound. Know what to do. @mcfrs

Good Sunday morning! Today's highs in the low 60s are right on average for the time of year.

Not as windy today as yesterday, but still breezy, with a stronger breeze Monday.

Warmer midweek before a cold front brings a late-week chance of showers (and snowflakes?)

🍂RAIN+LEAVES=SLIPPERY ROADS!

A few reminders for safer fall driving:
• Slow down. More time to react = more time to stop.
• Use your turn signals. They came FREE with your car!
• Wipers ON? Headlights ON! It's the law.
• Remind new drivers about fall driving hazards.

🚒 What if the most important emergency is the one that NEVER happens? That's the power of Community Risk Intelligence. Using DATA to identify risks, understand communities & turn information into PREVENTION.

👏Thank you to Chief Hrustich for a great class! @strategicfire @mcfrs
