Important safety message from our friends at Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue DistrictToday's a good day to take down those shutters if you haven't already! Leaving them up poses a serious fire safety risk for two important reasons:
#1 Blocked Exits: Storm shutters block your home's exits, making it impossible to escape from doors or windows if a fire occurs inside your home.
#2 Delayed Emergency Response: When shutters are blocking windows and doors, firefighters will be delayed in accessing the inside of your home during an emergency.
We know they're a pain to put up and Hurricane Season can be unpredictable, but once the storm passes it’s crucial to remove your storm shutters ASAP! ... See MoreSee Less

🔌💡 Generator Safety Tips! 💡🔌
Outdoor Use Only: Always run your generator outside, away from windows and doors. Carbon monoxide is deadly!
Proper Ventilation: Ensure your generator has plenty of airflow. Never use it in a garage or enclosed space.
Have a working battery-powered carbon monoxide detector inside your home.
Fuel Safety: Store fuel in approved containers, away from heat sources. Never refuel while the generator is running—let it cool down first!
Turn generator on before plugging in appliances to it. Turn things on one at a time to avoid overloading.
Always read and follow the guidelines provided by the manufacturer.
Stay safe! ... See MoreSee Less
