Father’s Day weekend is the perfect time to head to the cabin, cottage, campground, or hit the road in your RV. Before you settle in and enjoy the outdoors, take a few minutes to make sure your "home away from home" is just as safe as your primary residence.

✅ Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms
✅ Check fire extinguishers and make sure everyone knows where they are located
✅ Inspect propane connections, grills, and camp stoves for leaks or damage
✅ Keep exits clear and have an escape plan for everyone staying with you
✅ Never leave campfires, grills, or cooking unattended
✅ Ensure generators are used outdoors and away from windows and doors

Whether you're spending the weekend in an RV, lakeside cottage, hunting camp, or family cabin, a few simple safety checks can help keep your Father's Day weekend safe and enjoyable.

From all of us at the New Hampshire State Firemen's Association, have a safe and happy Father's Day weekend!

Today, we proudly honor the American flag — a symbol of freedom, sacrifice, service, and unity.

At the New Hampshire State Firemen’s Association, we recognize the values our flag represents and the generations of firefighters, military members, first responders, and citizens who have served under its colors.

As we reflect on the meaning of Flag Day, we also remember those whose names are etched into the New Hampshire Fallen Firefighters Memorial. Their dedication, courage, and sacrifice continue to inspire us and remind us of the profound responsibility that comes with serving others.

Take a moment today to display your flag proudly and reflect on the freedoms and opportunities it represents.

Many of the devices we use every day such as phones, laptops, power tools, e-bikes, and more are powered by lithium-ion batteries. While convenient, these batteries can become a serious fire hazard if they are damaged or charged improperly.

✅ Always use the charger that came with the device or one approved by the manufacturer.
✅ Replace damaged or frayed charging cords immediately.
✅ Stop using a charger if it only works when bent or positioned a certain way.
✅ Never ignore signs of overheating, swelling, or unusual odors.

A few simple precautions can help prevent fires and keep your family safe.
