Summer Safety
Fenton Fire District Rescue Boat
Summer has unofficially arrived with the passing of Memorial Day, and our attention turns toward summer fun. The Fenton Fire Protection District wants you to keep some safety tips in mind while you enjoy the warmer months.
- Always wear a helmet when riding your bicycle, scooter, ATV, roller skating, or skateboarding. Studies have shown that wearing an approved helmet can decrease the chances of a severe head injury by over 85%.
- Never leave a charcoal or gas barbecue grill unattended. Several recent and destructive fires in the St. Louis area have been attributed to barbecue grills left burning with nobody watching them. If you detect a leak on a propane grill, shut the grill and the tank off immediately.
For a comprehensive list of summer safety items for work and home, the State of Missouri has an excellent section on the Missouri Homeland Security Education website.
