It’s Test It Tuesday! Making sure you have working smoke & heat alarms could save your life. Test them weekly to make sure if fire does break out everyone in your home has time to get out safely.

Most wildfires are human caused - so, they're also preventable.
Ensure campfires are fully extinguished and dispose of cigarettes properly.
Remember, there’s no such thing as a harmless fire.
