Stay Safe on the Water!
A life jacket can save your life in an emergency. Whether you're boating, kayaking, fishing, or enjoying other water activities, always wear a properly fitted life jacket and make sure it's securely fastened.

Boating Under the Influence (BUI) is just as dangerous as driving under the influence. Alcohol and drugs impair judgment, balance, coordination, and reaction time—critical skills needed for safe boating.

Drowning remains the leading cause of death for children ages 1–4 and the second leading cause of unintentional injury death for children ages 5–14.
Promoting water safety, close supervision, and swim education can help prevent these tragedies. #WaterSafety #DrowningPrevention

Over 3,200 people die every year due to distracted driving. Please pay attention to the road, it WILL save a life.
#GatesFD #DistractedDrivingAwarenessMonth
April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month & Monroe County’s Office of Traffic Safety explains that distracted driving tickets aren’t only for using cell phones. Taking your eyes and focus off the road can cost you critical seconds that you may need to avoid a crash.
