Traveling plans for summer? If you are staying in a hotel or motel, take a minute to learn your surroundings in case of an emergency. https://nfpa.social/3YJSfTc

When you arrive:
• Read the escape plan posted in your room.
• Count the number of doors between your room and the nearest exits.
• If exit doors are not alarmed, open them to be sure they are unlocked.

Firing up the grill this weekend? Grilling is a great way to enjoy time with family and friends.

To stay safe while cooking:
• Use grills outdoors only. Place them well away from siding, deck railings, and overhangs. Do not use grills under porches, balconies, or tree branches.
• Keep a 3-foot “safety zone” around the grill for kids and pets.
• Never leave a grill unattended.

Cooking safety starts with staying in the kitchen. Most cooking fires happen because cooking is left unattended. If you’re frying, grilling, or broiling food, stay close and keep an eye on what you’re cooking.
