Winter Weather Awareness Week It may not have felt much like winter this past week, but in preparation for the inevitable, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is reminding drivers to be prepared when the snow flies.... Now is the time to get your vehicle ready for winter. Consider having your mechanic check the brakes, battery, hoses and belts. Also make sure your fluid levels are full; the heater and defroster are working properly, as well as your radio in order to receive weather and traffic reports; tires are properly inflated and have sufficient tread depth; and wipers and lights are in good working order. Assemble a winter emergency kit to carry with you in your car at all times. This should include a blanket and warm clothes; jumper cables; small shovel; first aid kit; medications for you and your passengers; and water and nonperishable food. To help keep you informed when you head out on the roads, you can access travel information on nearly 40,000 state-maintained roadway miles year-round at 511PA.com, and during the winter you will find plow-truck locations and details of when state-maintained roadways were last plowed. The information is made possible by PennDOT's Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) technology, which uses units in each of the roughly 2,200 department-owned and rented plow trucks to send a cellular signal showing where a truck is located. For more information and resources to help you prepare for and get through the winter, visit penndot.gov/winter.

Holiday Safety Keeping fire safe should be a priority during the holidays. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) provides these top 10 safety tips to keep yourself and your family safe during the holidays. Stay in the kitchen when you are cooking on the stove top, so you can keep an eye on the food. Stay in the home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently. Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot, and kids should stay three ...feet away. Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy, or coffee could cause serious burns. Keep knives out of the reach of children. Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, plate warmer, or mixer are not dangling off the counter within easy reach of a child. Keep matches and utility lighters out of the reach of children up high in a locked cabinet. Never leave children alone in a room with a lit candle. Keep the floor clear so you do not trip over children's toys, pocketbooks, or bags. Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button. Thanksgiving is the peak day for home cooking fires, followed by Christmas Day, Christmas Eve, and the day before Thanksgiving. According to the NFPA, in 2016, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated 1,570 home cooking fires on Thanksgiving. Did you know cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries? You are 400% more likely to experience a cooking fire on Thanksgiving than any other day during the year according to National Fire Protection Association. The leading cause of fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking. The most common causes of an oven fire is grease residue. Something that could catch fire was too close to the equipment on 10% of cooking fires and 23% of deaths.
