Did you know Thanksgiving is the leading day for home cooking fires? As you prepare for your upcoming Thanksgiving feast, keep these safety tips in mind:

- Stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stovetop so you can keep an eye on your food.
- Keep children at least 3 feet away from the stove and hot foods or liquids.
- Steam and splashes from gravy, vegetables, or coffee can cause serious burns, be cautious when serving.
- Make sure your smoke alarms are working before the holiday.

Have a fun and safe Thanksgiving! ...

Thank you to the @puyallupfoodbank for partnering with us to provide more than 150 free carbon monoxide (CO) alarms to community members.

As temperatures drop and households begin using heaters, fireplaces, and generators more often, the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning goes up. Symptoms can look a lot like a seasonal illness — things like headache, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue — which makes it easy to overlook how serious CO exposure can be.

If you live within our fire district, you can request a free CO alarm by clicking on the link in our bio.

These alarms are made possible through Federal Grant Funds from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. ...

When emergencies happen, every second counts. Thanks to the Pierce County Blood Program, our Medical Services Officers can give blood in the field before a patient ever reaches the hospital. That quick access to blood is helping save lives across our community.

Since the program began, 83 patients have received lifesaving blood in Pierce County. Every donation helps ensure blood is available when it’s needed most.�

November is National Carbon Monoxide (CO) Awareness Month.

CO, known as the “invisible killer,” is a colorless, odorless gas that sends over 100,000 people to the emergency room and causes more than 1,200 deaths in the U.S. each year.

CO poisoning can happen quickly and causes symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and loss of consciousness, and in severe cases, death. This winter, take time to protect your family from CO poisoning by following these safety tips:

- Install CO alarms outside each sleeping area, on every level of your home.
- Test alarms monthly and replace them according to the manufacturer.
- Never run vehicles, generators, or fuel-burning equipment inside garages or enclosed spaces, even if doors are open.
- Keep dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace vents clear of snow and ice.
- Only use generators outdoors, away from windows, doors, and vents.
- If your CO alarm sounds, get everyone outside to fresh air immediately and call 911 from a safe location.

If you live within the Central Pierce Fire & Rescue district, visit the link in our bio to request a free alarm today.

The CO alarms being given to our community were purchased through Federal Grant Funds provided by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and authorized through the Nicholas and Zachary Burt Memorial Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Prevention Act of 2022. ...
