This week’s theme is “Cooking Safety.” Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries. The leading cause of fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking. #CookSafely #StandByYourPan #FireSafetyTips #FirePrevention

The only safe way to view fireworks is to attend a professional show. It is important to know that fireworks are not safe for consumers. Fireworks cause thousands of injuries and more than 38% are burns. For more firework safety visit: https://t.co/n4vUGSLeh8 #safe4thofjuly

Grilling this weekend? Keep the fire on your food!

Place your grill at least 10 feet away from siding, deck railings, and overhanging roof or branches.

Keep children and pets safe by having a 3-foot "no-go" zone around your grill.

As July 4 fast approaches, @NFPA urges you to only attend public fireworks displays put on by trained professionals and avoid consumer fireworks, which can cause serious injury & damage. NFPA and the latest from the @USCPSC underscore these risks: https://t.co/p1b6Fsg9M3

You may be tempted to put on your own show, but fireworks in the hands of consumers aren't safe! Fireworks are dangerous to people and pets. Using them puts your property at risk. Here are some ideas on what you can do to celebrate instead #FireworksSafety #FirePrevention #BeSafe
