Here is a reminder regarding fire safety and smoking from @MassDFS.
Smoking is the #1 cause of fatal fires in Massachusetts. There's no truly safe way to smoke, but if you must smoke then always use a heavy ashtray with water or sand. And no one should ever smoke in a home where medical oxygen is in use. Learn more: mass.gov/info-details/smokin…

A closed door can make a 900-degree difference in a fire at home. Everyone needs working #SmokeAlarms & a practiced home escape plan, but closing your door when you go to sleep can slow the spread of deadly smoke, flames, and #CarbonMonoxide. Learn more: closeyourdoor.org/

There's no truly safe way to smoke, but smoking on medical oxygen is especially dangerous! This combination was a known or suspected factor in at least 5 Massachusetts fire deaths last year. Our safety flyer is available in English, Spanish, & Portuguese: ow.ly/zWkV50UZKkR

It's the first Saturday of the month, and that means it's #SmokeAlarmSaturday! Smoke and #CarbonMonoxide alarms are your family's first line of defense at home. Be sure you and your loved ones are protected -- test them once a month to be sure they're working properly!

With the expected extreme heat over the next few days remember to stay cool and stay hydrated. Check on vulnerable folks like kids, the elderly, the sick, and pets.

With hot weather in the days ahead, remember that #HotCars are no place for kids, pets, or vulnerable adults -- not even with the window cracked, not even for "just a minute." The temperature inside a car can become unsafe in just two minutes! Learn more: ow.ly/Mw3o50Ow4sw

It's the first Saturday of the month, and that means it's #SmokeAlarmSaturday! Smoke and CO alarms are your first line of defense against an emergency. Test them each month to be sure they're working properly, and check with older friends and relatives to see if they need a hand.

It's gonna be a hot one! Know the signs of heat-related illness (ow.ly/VvEJ50PjqBk), and hydrate before, during, & after outdoor activities. By the time you feel thirsty you're already behind in fluid replacement, and dehydration is a leading contributor to heat exhaustion.
