Don’t start off the new year on the wrong foot. New Year’s Eve celebrations often involve alcohol use and some people use this night to take it to the extreme. If you plan on indulging, know your limits. Eat a full dinner before consuming alcohol and make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the night. No one wants to be in the ER for alcohol poisoning. And if you are out and about, be careful about injuries. Alcohol makes you less coordinated and affects your balance. And most importantly, never drink and drive. Have a plan to get yourself home by using public transportation, a rideshare or with a sober friend. Find resources about alcohol use on the CDC’s website at www.cdc.gov/alcohol/about-alcohol-use/index.html

❄️🔥 Last night’s fire happened in freezing temperatures and spread fast.
Firefighters were literally frozen from the water & the cold while doing their job.

As temperatures drop fire risks increase especially from everyday items we use to stay warm.

🚨 Please be mindful of the following:

⚡️Space heaters ~ keep at least 3 feet away from anything flammable & never leave unattended

⚡️Clothes dryers ~ clean lint traps AFTER EVERY USE and check vents regularly

⚡️Stoves & ovens ~ do NOT use them to heat your home. It’s dangerous. Period.

⚡ Electrical outlets & power strips ~ avoid overloading

⚡️Extension cords ~ temporary use only & never under rugs or furniture

Cold weather fires spread quickly and put lives at risk ~ including our first responders.

Stay warm❤️‍🔥Stay alert❤️‍🔥Stay safe

From my family and my team at BTE 24HR Emergency Services we’re wishing you warmth, peace, and a beautiful holiday.
