If you see or hear your neighbors setting up/testing their generators before , stop by and make sure they’re practicing these safety tips!

❌Do not place generators inside of any structure including garages, carports and sheds (not even if the door is open fully or partially)
↔️Instead, place the generator at least 20 feet away from your home, down-wind away from open doors, windows and vents (porches are too close)
⛽️Before refueling, turn the generator off and allow it to cool for 15-20 minutes
❌ Never try to power the house wiring by plugging the generator into a wall outlet
🔌 Instead, use a heavy-duty, outdoor extension cord to plug appliances into generators
💦Do not use in rain or wet conditions
🧯Have a fire extinguisher nearby
🚨 Have a carbon monoxide monitor for your home

💡If your power does go out, and you DO NOT have a generator, we have the following safety tips for some alternative lighting sources you may be considering:

🕯Keep candles and oil lamps 3-5 feet from combustible objects and never leave them unattended or within reach of children. This includes blowing a candle out when you go to sleep or leave a room.

STATE FIRE MARSHAL SHARES SAFE OUTDOOR BURNING TIPS FOLLOWING CONCERNING WEATHER CONDITIONS

BATON ROUGE (February 27, 2024)- While the state is NOT under a burn ban, State Fire Marshal Bryan J Adams is strongly encouraging Louisianans to avoid any outdoor burning practices this week until conditions become less concerning.

Continuous, elevated winds coupled with mostly dry conditions across the state have led to an increase in brush fire calls for local fire departments. Several of these calls have escalated into large and dangerous wildfires that involved response from the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry.

“Even though the current conditions are nowhere close to what the state experienced last summer, we need everyone to understand the ingredients for dangerous fires are in place right now,” said Adams, “These fires are resulting from small outdoor burn piles getting quickly out of control. They are proving to be challenging for firefighters and have destroyed properties.”

Open, outdoor burning is defined as setting fire to any trees, branches, grass, leaves, brush, or debris by private property owners for non-commercial purposes. If outdoor burning is unavoidable at this time, safety tips include:

• Ensuring weather conditions, including wind speed and direction, are safe for burning
• Confirming open burning is legal in your area
• Establishing a burn pile at least 75 feet from any structures
• Creating a 5-foot wet control line around the area
• Avoiding the use of flammable liquids to ignite a burn pile
• Remaining vigilant over the fire with a water source nearby at all times
• Alert a loved one or neighbor of your activities or conduct them with help
• If the fire does get out of control, call 911
