It is National Preparedness Month – Are you Prepared?

Families also need to prepare for unexpected household fires that may start in the kitchen or by a grill. Maybe an electric heater was left on or a candle was left burning. Being prepared can help get family members out of the home in a timely and safe manner.

Being prepared can keep your family safe! Read More
