Safety and Fun Can Go Hand in Hand June 21 marked the official start of summer. With the summer season come increased opportunities for good times, but the opportunity for accidents also rises. Here, we provide you with some safety tips to keep in mind as you celebrate summer. SUN   Always wear sunscreen. Be sure to apply it 30 minutes before going outside.   Avoid heat exhaustion by staying hydrated. Drink plenty of water, even before going outside. And pets can get overheated too, so make sure they have plenty of water.   Never leave children or pets in the car, even if the windows are cracked. WATER   When on the water or in a boat, wear lifejackets, not only for your personal safety, but also to set a good example for children.   Boating and alcohol just do not mix! Just as with a car, if you are steering the boat, do not drink alcohol.   If you have a pool, install a fence at least four feet high. FIRE   Leave fireworks to the professionals. Even the seemingly harmless sparklers can reach temperatures in excess of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit.   When cooking out, make certain to review the owner's manual before starting up the gas grill. For charcoal grills, be especially careful when using lighter fluid.   On camping trips, follow park regulations concerning camp fires. Be sure you take a fire extinguisher with you. If you follow these tips, you are well on your way to a safe summer!
