Fall is finally here and so are all the things we love about it. Unfortunately, some of those things we love so much carry some inherent risks. Here are a few fall tips to remember as we enter the last quarter of the year.
It’s back-to-school season, which brings with it back-to-school traffic in the early mornings and late afternoons. This also signals an increase of school buses and cars on the road. Not to mention, pedestrian traffic at crosswalks as kids and parents walk to and from the school and their bus stop.
Morning and afternoon commutes aren’t the only ones affected by the season. Daylight Saving Time ends every year on the first Sunday in November. This means it starts to get darker earlier. As we set our clocks backward by one hour in most areas of the country, be sure to practice safe night driving.
Lastly, before you relight your fireplace, check your chimney to confirm it’s free of debris and has proper ventilation. Make sure the bricks, mortar and liner are in good condition. Oh, and don't forget to use a fireplace screen to keep the sparks from flying all over the place!
