🎃 Halloween Safety tip of the day:🎃

👻 When choosing a costume, stay away from long trailing fabric. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so he or she can see out. 👻

A few more Halloween safety tips from Sparky the Fire Dog:
👻 Remember to keep all exits clear of decorations so nothing blocks escape routes. And make sure all smoke alarms in the home or facility are working.

Sparky knows every room needs two ways out—just like in this spooky maze, where you’ll find two safe exits to the outside meeting place.

As you head out for trick-or-treating fun this week, remember these important Halloween safety tips:
✨ Trick-or-treat with a grown-up.
✨ Carry a flashlight or glow stick.
✨ Stay away from lit candles.

👻 Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep decorations away from open flames and other heart sources like lamps and heaters. 👻

💡 Did you know? Between 2018–2022, candles caused over 1/3 of Halloween decoration fires. This year, swap the flame for glow sticks or battery-operated candles. Safer. Spookier. Smarter.

This week we'll be sharing fire safety tips as we countdown to Halloween. Don't forget to come visit us Friday night for Halloween at the station! 🎃🍬🍿🚒

Charge any lithium-ion battery device on a hard surface—never on your bed, couch, or under a pillow. And don’t overcharge. Once it’s at 100%, unplug and move on. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Charging something big like a power tool, scooter, or e-bike with a lithium-ion battery? Do it outside. Use a flat, dry area away from direct sunlight, anything wet, kids, or tripping hazards. And make sure your bike or device is secure—so it doesn’t fall while charging. Charge Into Fire Safety for Fire Prevention Week.

Magnet Cove Firefighters visited Magnet Cove Elementary today to talk to students about fire safety. It is an exciting and educational event for young students.
