Another example of a closed door preventing the spread of deadly smoke and heat into a bedroom. Close before you doze! It can save your life!

Photo is shared from another fire department, but we have plenty of local examples, too.

NEXT SYSTEM: Eyeballing Sunday/Monday for our next chance for some snow in the area. It's a diving clipper system which gives us a great deal of uncertainty on specific locations, but it's heading generally in our direction. Typically these clipper systems can bring a couple of inches of snow with them. We'll watch and see. Seems like it's late Sunday evening into Monday morning for timing, but that also is subject to change.

We do think there could be some chances for spotty snow flurries or brief snow showers Friday/Saturday in the area, with minimal impact.
