Never leave candles burning unattended. Blow them out before leaving the room or going to bed. A little caution goes a long way! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #CandleSafety

Frayed cords and overloaded outlets are fire hazards. Inspect your cords and avoid plugging too many devices into one outlet. Stay powered and safe! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #ElectricalSafety

Space heaters and fireplaces are cozy but risky. Keep a 3-foot safety zone around them, especially for kids and pets. Stay warm AND safe! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #FirePrevention

Cooking fires are the #1 cause of home fires. Use a timer to remind yourself to check the stove or oven. A few seconds of prevention can save lives! #NationalBurnAwarenessWeek #FirePrevention

🚨This morning, just after 6 am, firemen battled a blaze along the bluff on the 101 in Encinitas, California (south of homeless hotbed Swami's).
We demand transparency on how many fires are caused by homeless encampments, their cost to taxpayers (look at all of these fire trucks) and the devastation to homes as well as the environment.
