Practice fire safety while enjoying the outdoors

Wed, 12/30/2020 - 11:00pm

Campfires can be a great source of warmth and fuel for cooking, but be sure to keep these safety tips in mind. Locate a safe spot for your campfire, away from anything flammable and far from overhead hazards. Pile up rocks around your fire to help keep the wind out and fire embers in. When you are done with your campfire, fully extinguish it. Drown, stir and feel the area for heat. Hold your hand just above the wet ashes--if you feel any residual heat, continue to add water and stir. Remember, if it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to leave.

Resilience

The holidays are going to be challenging this year as we attempt to balance the risk of gathering extended family during a pandemic and the need to recharge ourselves mentally and socially by being around those most special to us. The decision to engage in traditional family events during this time will need to be an individual one that considers the emotional benefit as well as the medical risk.
