FIRE DEPARTMENT WARNING: SAFE DISPOSAL OF OIL AND SOLVENT-SOAKED RAGS Improperly disposing of oil-soaked or solvent-soaked rags in regular trash cans can create a serious fire hazard, and the Fire Department has recently seen an uptick in fires caused by this issue. To reduce the risk, residents should allow rags to fully dry in a well-ventilated area before disposal, store them in a metal container with a tight- fitting lid if they cannot be dried immediately, and avoid placing them in trash bins near heat sources. Taking a few simple precautions can significantly reduce the chance of accidental ignition. THANKSGIVING SAFETY TIPS • Never leave the stove or oven unattended while cooking - Unattended cooking is the number one cause of home fires in the U.S. according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). • Keep children away from stove-tops, open fires, lighters, matches, and candles - keep children at least 3 feet away from the stove while in use or cooking to help prevent any mishaps. • Be careful of cords cluttering the kitchen - Electric mixers, coffee makers, and plate warmers can be an electrical fire hazard due to the amount of electricity running through the outlets. • Test your smoke alarms - Test your smoke alarms monthly, especially before the start of the holiday cooking season so you and your family are alerted in the event of a fire. Replace batteries every six months. • Have a fire extinguisher – Keep a fire extinguisher easily accessible, especially in the kitchen during the holiday season. Pull the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the trigger and sweep from side to side. RHCA BOARD ELECTION RHCA has two seats up for election at the annual meeting in January.
