Winter Weather Safety
With the cold weather upon us it is important that your chimneys have been recently cleaned by a professional cleaning crew. Chimney fires can be very devastating; potentially burning your house down.
Another important winter safety tip is in regards to going out on the frozen lakes; know the area. If you are unfamiliar with the lake or pond that you are on, you may unknowingly walk on an area where there is running water underneath the ice, making the ice thin. Always have someone with you who knows the body of water well. Avoid travelling on the ice at night or in heavy snow, as it is easy to become disoriented. Avoid walking on ice that appears dark or grey. This usually indicates that the ice is thin.
