Use Energy Safely

 
 

Staying Safe At the Pump
Static electricity-related incidents at retail gasoline outlets are extremely unusual, but the potential for them to happen appears to be the highest during cool or cold and dry climate conditions. In rare circumstances, these static related incidents have resulted in a brief flash fire occurring at the fill point. Consumers can take steps to minimize these and other potential fueling hazards by following safe refueling procedures all year long.

Dig Safely Around Utilities
All gas lines and many power lines run underground for safety and aesthetic reasons, but out of sight shouldn't mean out of mind.

Keeping Safe from Carbon Monoxide
Furnaces, space heaters, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves all help keep us warm in the cold of winter. But any fuel-burning system needs to be properly maintained and operated for safety’s sake.
