FALL FRAUD PREVENTION | Early Holiday Shopping Scams

Scammers know we're looking for deals. Fake stores and social media ads can look surprisingly real.

Before you buy, check the website, seller and price.

Protect yourself: Shop with trusted retailers and avoid clicking unfamiliar shopping links.

If the deal seems too good to be true, pause before you purchase.

Senior Safety Sunday — Cook With Care

Cooking is part of everyday life, but a distraction or forgotten burner can turn a meal into an emergency. The Perth Volunteer Fire Company would like to encourage older adults and caregivers to make these simple habits part of their kitchen routine.

✅ Stay with your cooking.
Stay in the kitchen while frying or cooking on the stovetop. If you need to leave, turn the burner off—even if you expect to be gone only a minute.

✅ Use a timer.
A timer can help you remember to check your food. It’s a reminder, not a substitute for watching the stove.

✅ Keep the stovetop clear.
Keep towels, paper, packaging and oven mitts away from burners. Wear short or close-fitting sleeves so clothing doesn’t touch the heat.

✅ Turn handles inward.
Position pot and pan handles so they won’t be bumped or caught by clothing. Keep them away from other hot burners.

✅ Check before you leave.
When you finish cooking, make sure the burners and oven are off.

Know what to do if a pan catches fire.
For a small grease fire, only if you can do so safely, slide a lid over the pan and turn off the burner. Leave the lid in place until the pan cools. Never use water or carry a burning pan. If you feel unsafe or the fire spreads, get outside, stay outside and call 911.

Family and caregivers can help.
Check the kitchen together, clear away hazards and set up reminders that work for your loved one.

This week’s safety check: Look around your stove. Is anything too close to the heat?

Please share this reminder with someone you care about.
