When hitting the trails, always know your location, especially in case of emergencies. Snap a photo of the closest trail marker for reference, dress for varying temperatures, pack enough water, and tell a friend or family member of your whereabouts and anticipated return time.

When using an alcohol-fueled fire pit, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and never leave it unattended. Wait to refill the fire feature until the flame is completely out and the device has cooled. Vapors from the alcohol could ignite, causing a fire or burn injury.

YOU play a critical role in work zone safety. 🚧👷 As you approach one: ⬇️ Slow down and pay attention to directional signs. 🛑 Be prepared to stop unexpectedly. 💲 Remember, fines for speeding in work zones are often doubled. #NWZAW #GoOrangeDay

When using a ladder for home projects, remember to always maintain three points of contact with the ladder. Whether it's one hand and both feet, or both hands and one foot. Standing on the very top step of a ladder is dangerous and should be avoided.

Planning on using a fire pit soon? Keep it at least 15 feet away from your home, trees, deck, and any other flammable material. Allow ashes to cool for at least 48 hours before disposing of them.
