From BBQs to Boat Rides: Keep Safety Part of the Plan This Summer

As the heat of the summer rolls in, we are all eager to get outside and bask in the summer fun! When it comes to activities like backyard BBQ’s, a pool day or heading to the lake for some boating excitement - make sure you’re practicing safety first so you’re not left singing the summertime blues.

Before kicking off summer with your annual neighborhood BBQ, take a moment to inspect all outdoor cooking appliances. Grills and other gas‑powered equipment can pose safety risks if something malfunctions. Check fuel lines, ignition components, and any appliance that uses gas or open flame. Also ensure the surrounding area is clear of anything flammable.

ATV’s, boats and jet skis, oh my! The summer is the perfect time of year to tap into your adventurous spirit. Whether it’s on wheels or on the water, a few simple precautions can give you peace of mind. Give your vehicle a full once‑over before heading out, make sure all systems are functioning properly, follow safe fueling practices, and keep essential safety gear like helmets, life jackets, and emergency kits within easy reach.
