Summer is prime grilling season, and there’s nothing better than good food shared with family and friends. But before you fire up the grill, take a few simple steps to keep your cookout safe.

🌭 Keep grills at least 10 feet away from homes, decks, and anything flammable
🧹 Clean grease and fat buildup regularly to help prevent flare-ups
🐾 Keep children and pets a safe distance from hot grills
🔥 Make sure charcoal is fully extinguished before disposal

For propane grills, always check hoses and connections for leaks before use.

A little grill safety goes a long way toward keeping your summer fun and fire-free.

Happy grilling from Northwestern Fire District! ☀️

If you’ve called 911 for a medical emergency, the moments before responders arrive can feel stressful and overwhelming. But there are a few simple things you can do that may help EMTs reach and care for your loved one more quickly.

💊 Gather a current medication list or important medical information if possible.
🐾 Secure pets so responders can safely enter and focus on patient care.
🚪 Clear pathways and unlock doors if you can to help EMS quickly bring in equipment and reach the patient.

One thing people don’t always think about until there’s an emergency:
Hidden or hard-to-read address numbers can delay help arriving. Take a few minutes now to make sure your house numbers are clearly visible from the road—especially at night.

These small actions can help first responders do what they do best—provide care when every second matters.

As communities across the country begin celebrating America 250, we know fireworks will once again be a big part of Independence Day traditions. While fireworks can be fun, they can also cause serious injuries and fires if not handled carefully.

If you plan to use fireworks this holiday:
💧 Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby
🚫 Never hold fireworks in your hands
⏳ If a firework doesn’t go off, wait before approaching it and soak it in water before disposal
👨‍👩‍👧 Keep children and pets a safe distance away
🔥 Only use fireworks outdoors in a clear area away from homes, dry grass, and vehicles

And remember—professional displays are always the safest option.

Let’s celebrate safely and make this Fourth of July memorable for all the right reasons.

With summer temperatures rising, staying hydrated is one of the simplest—and most important—ways to stay healthy and safe.

Whether you’re working outside, spending time at the ballfield, exercising, or responding to emergencies, dehydration can sneak up quickly.

A few reminders:
✅ Drink water consistently throughout the day
✅ Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning
✅ Watch for signs of heat exhaustion like dizziness, nausea, or fatigue
✅ Don’t wait until you’re thirsty to hydrate

Northwestern Fire District knows how important hydration is for staying ready to respond—and we encourage our community to do the same this summer.

Summer travel season is here, and whether you’re staying in a hotel, cabin, or vacation rental, it’s important to remember that you’re sleeping somewhere unfamiliar. In an emergency, knowing how to get out quickly can make all the difference.

When you arrive:
✅ Locate at least two exits from your room or rental
🚪 In hotels or condos, locate the nearest emergency exit stairs and know how to reach them quickly
🚨 Check for working smoke alarms
👨‍👩‍👧 Make sure everyone in your family knows the escape plan
🔦 Keep phones charged and know where flashlights are located

We often take for granted knowing the layout of our own homes—but when traveling, a few minutes of preparation can help keep your family safe.

Have fun, travel safe, and enjoy your summer adventures! ☀️

Whether you’re camping, boating, fishing, or enjoying a backyard fire pit, summer is the perfect time to get outside and enjoy everything Ohio has to offer.

As you head outdoors, keep safety in mind:
🔥 Never leave campfires unattended and fully extinguish them before leaving or going to bed.
🚤 Always wear a life jacket while boating or near open water.
🌊 Keep a close eye on children around pools, ponds, and lakes—even strong swimmers need supervision.
🧯 Keep water or a shovel nearby anytime you have an open flame.

A little preparation goes a long way toward making summer memories safe ones!

In an emergency, knowing CPR or how to use an AED can make the difference between life and death. Immediate action before first responders arrive can dramatically improve survival rates during cardiac emergencies.

This week is a great reminder to:
✅ Learn CPR
✅ Familiarize yourself with AEDs in your workplace or community
✅ Encourage friends and family to get trained too

At Northwestern Fire District, we believe lifesaving knowledge is one of the most powerful tools a community can have. You never know when you may be in a position to help save a life.

Interested in learning CPR? Northwestern Fire District can provide CPR training upon request for community groups, organizations, and workplaces. Contact us to learn more about scheduling a class.

In a fire, every second counts—and having a plan can make all the difference. Take time to sit down with your family and make sure everyone knows how to get out safely.

Here are a few key things to include in your plan:
✅ Know at least two ways out of every room—a door and a window if possible
🏠 Have a meeting spot outside where everyone will gather
🪜 Plan for second-story exits—consider a fire escape ladder if stairs become impassable
🚫 Never go back inside once you’ve exited

Practice your plan regularly so everyone feels confident and prepared. A few minutes of planning today could save lives tomorrow.
