❄️ Late-season winter storms can create hidden electrical hazards.

If you encounter a downed power line:

⚠️ Stay at least 35 feet away
⚠️ Never touch the line or anything in contact with it
⚠️ Warn others to keep their distance
📞 Call 911 immediately

Always assume a downed line is energized. Awareness and distance save lives.

⚠️ It’s National Consumer Protection Week — and utility scams are on the rise.

Americans lose an estimated $239 million each year to scams, many involving criminals posing as utility representatives demanding immediate payment to avoid disconnection.

Know the red flags:
🚩 Demands for immediate payment
🚩 Requests for prepaid cards or wire transfers

Pause. Verify. Contact your utility provider directly before making any payment.

⚡ The average home has 70 outlets and up to 30 breakers — don’t compromise safety with the wrong accessories.

Avoid:
🚫 3-prong screw-in lamp adapters
🚫 Outlet “tighteners”
🚫 Lamp base ceiling fans

These products can create shock and fire hazards. Choose properly installed, code-compliant solutions instead.

🚨 New month. New reminder. Test your life-saving devices.

The start of each month is the perfect time to check:

🔹 Smoke alarms
🔹 Carbon monoxide alarms
🔹 GFCI receptacles
🔹 AFCI receptacles

Best practices:
✔️ Test smoke alarms monthly
✔️ Replace batteries once a year
✔️ Replace units every 10 years

These simple checks take minutes — and they protect lives year-round. Electrical safety isn’t seasonal. Make it routine.

❄️🔥 Winter Cold = Higher Fire Risk 🔥❄️

As temperatures drop, the risk of heating-related fires rises. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), heating equipment caused an annual average of 44,210 home fires and 480 deaths between 2016 and 2020.

🚨 One simple rule can save lives:
• Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet away from heat sources

A little distance makes a big difference in keeping your home safe this winter.
