📷 While January may not feel like wildfire season, it’s a great time to get ahead on prevention! Clear debris around your home, maintain your chimney, and prepare your property for potential wildfire risks when warmer weather arrives. https://shorturl.at/YEzGY. #FireSense
Our furry friends can get cold too. Keep them safe this winter by limiting their time outdoors during freezing temperatures. If you choose to go on a short walk, make sure you wipe their paws - ice melting chemicals can make them sick!

High volumes of traffic + road snow often means significant downhill delays and/or fully stopped traffic.
