As temperatures continue to rise, the Easley Fire Department encourages everyone to take precautions to stay safe in the heat. Heat-related illnesses can develop quickly, but they are preventable with a few simple steps.

Remember to:
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
• Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
• Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
• Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a few minutes.

Know the warning signs of heat-related illness. Heat exhaustion can often be treated by moving to a cool place and hydrating, but heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate medical attention. If you suspect someone is experiencing heat stroke, call 9-1-1 right away.

Check on older adults, young children, neighbors, and anyone who may be more vulnerable during periods of extreme heat.

Stay informed, stay hydrated, and stay safe this summer.

Did you know that 70% of lighting deaths occur in June, July, and August?

Thunderstorms can develop quickly, and lightning is one of the most dangerous weather hazards. If you hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck by lightning.

Remember:
• At the first sound of thunder, move indoors or into a hard-topped vehicle.
• Avoid open fields, bodies of water, and isolated trees.
• Once indoors, stay away from windows and avoid using corded electrical appliances or water.
• Wait at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder before returning outside.

If someone is struck by lightning, call 9-1-1 immediately. Lightning strike victims do not carry an electrical charge and are safe to assist. Begin CPR if you know how, and it is needed.

Your safety starts with being prepared. Review the information below and help keep your family safe during severe weather.

❗️July 4th Safety Week- Outdoor Burning❗️

July 4th weekend is approaching fast! If you choose to conduct any outdoor recreational burning, there are a few things to keep in mind. For Wednesday's July 4th Safety Week, let's take a closer look at outdoor burning!!

As you enjoy cookouts, fireworks, and time with family this 4th of July, remember to keep outdoor burning safe and legal.

Before you burn:
- Obtain a burn notification through the South Carolina Forestry Commission.
- Burn only natural vegetative debris such as leaves, limbs, and branches.
- Never burn trash, tires, or other household waste.
- Clear a fire break around your burn pile.
- Have water, a hose, or other equipment ready to keep the fire under control.
- Never leave a fire unattended! You must stay with it until it is completely out.

❗️Did you know? ❗️

❗️July 4th Safety Week- Smoke Alarms❗️

As we continue to get closer to July 4th, ensuring that your residence has properly working smoke alarms is a high priority. For Tuesday's July 4th Safety Week, let's take a closer look at smoke alarms!!

Smoke alarms are an important part in your home fire escape plan. Nearly 3 out of 5 home fire related deaths happened in homes with improperly working smoke alarms. In the event of a house fire, you have less than 2 minutes to exit the residence after the alarm has sounded.

Having just one smoke alarm inside your house could provide you and others with early detection of smoke and provide the essential seconds to get out. We recommend changing your smoke alarm battery’s every six months and changing the alarm itself every 10 years.

As we approach the 4th of July, now is a great time to ensure that your residence has properly working smoke alarms!! Check to make sure the alarm is functioning properly, in date, and has fresh batteries.

When you check your smoke alarms, we recommend reviewing what to do in the event of a fire with the people you live with! Review home fire escape plan, outdoor meeting points, and ensure that everyone GETS OUT AND STAYS OUT!

❗️July 4th Safety Week- Grill Safety❗️

As July 4th approaches, outdoor grilling is a very common activity. For Monday's July 4th Safety Week, lets take a look a some general safety reminders as well as specific grill safety considerations!

Grilling Safety Reminders:
1. Grill outdoors only! Never grill inside a garage or under an overhang.
2. Keep your grill at least 3 ft away from your home, deck, and anything that could burn.
3. Keep children and pets at least 3 ft away from the grilling area.
4. Never leave a grill unattended!
5. Clean your grill regularly to prevent grease fires.
6. Always open the lid before lighting a propane grill.

Using Propane Grills:

- Check the hose for leaks with a soap-and-water solution before grilling.
- If you smell gas, turn off the grill if it's safe to do so, move away from the area, and call the fire department if the leak continues.

Using Charcoal Grills:
- Use only charcoal starter fluid.
- Never add starter fluid to hot coals.
- Allow coals to cool completely before disposing of them in a metal container.

The month of July is the busiest month for grill fires, and nearly half of all grilling injuries are burns. By taking a few extra minutes of preparation can help ensure the safety of you and the others around you!
