Here are some important safety reminders:
  • Stay warm with proper clothing.
  • Be cautious with fires; they can spread and cause damage or loss of life. Never light fires in enclosed areas due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal.
  • Alcohol does not keep you warm—it thins your blood and increases the risk of hypothermia.
  • Take action now. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
