June is National Safety Month! 🚒

As firefighters, we know that safety isn't just a rule—it's a way of life. Whether you're on the job, at home, or tackling a weekend project, remember these simple safety tips:
✅ Wear the right PPE—and wear it correctly.
✅ Use tools properly and treat them with care.
✅ Keep work areas clear of loose cords, clutter, and debris to prevent trips and falls.

A few extra minutes spent working safely can prevent injuries that last a lifetime.

Stay alert, stay prepared, and make safety your mission this June!
