Clocks go back an hour this weekend. As the foothills cool down and fireplaces start up, put that extra hour toward a quick winter safety check.
🔥 Replace your smoke alarm batteries and test each alarm
🔥 Get your chimney or wood stove inspected before your first fire of the season
🔥 Store fireplace ashes in a metal container with a lid, away from the house
🔥 Keep flashlights and charged batteries ready for winter storm power outages
🔥 Practice two ways out of every room with your family
🔥 Check your fire extinguisher and restock your first aid kit
Small steps now can prevent a big emergency later.
If you ever need us, the fire fighters of South Placer Fire District are always ready to respond, day or night.
