🔌 more than 3,000 home fires originate with extension cords each year?

Planning a midweek project or simply need a little extra power around your home? Make sure you’re using the right extension cord for the job.

âś… Choose a cord rated for the intended use and electrical load.
âś… Inspect cords for damage before using them.
âś… Keep cords away from heat and water.
đźš« Never plug one extension cord into another.
🚫 Don’t use extension cords as a permanent wiring solution.

A few simple steps can help keep your next project safe! 🔥🏠

Cooking fires injure more Illinois residents than any other fire origin category. Protect yourself and your family:
• Stay in the kitchen when frying, grilling, or broiling.
• Keep towels, packaging, and other combustibles away from the stove.
• Turn pot handles inward so they can’t be bumped or grabbed.
• Keep kids and pets at least 3 feet away from the cooking area.
• If a pan catches fire, slide a lid over it and turn off the burner—never use water on a grease fire.
• If the fire is growing or you’re unsure what to do, GET OUT, STAY OUT, and call 911.
The stove is never worth leaving unattended.

🚌 Back-to-School Safety: School Bus Safety

As students head back to school, remember that safety starts before they even reach the classroom. Whether you’re driving, walking, or riding the bus, everyone has a role in keeping students safe.

🛑 Drivers: Slow down and stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Never pass a stopped school bus.

🚶 Students: Stay alert around buses, use sidewalks and crosswalks when available, and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop before approaching.

🚌 Bus riders: Stay seated, keep aisles clear, keep hands and heads inside the bus, and follow the driver’s instructions.

Let’s make this school year a safe one for every student. Slow down, stay alert, and watch for school buses!
