You see a tractor. You check your mirror. The road looks clear. But before you hit the gas, ask:

🚜 Is there an upcoming driveway?
👈 Could it be making a wide left turn?
🛣️ Can you see far enough ahead to pass safely?
⚠️ Is any equipment extending into the opposite lane?

The safest approach to sharing the road with farm equipment this time of year? Slow down, stay alert and don't rush the pass. Patience can be the difference between being five minutes late and getting there alive.

🇺🇸 🍔🌭🔥 With the Fourth of July arriving Saturday, many of you will be firing up the grill! Before you light the coals or propane, take a few minutes to review these grilling safety tips to help keep your Independence Day celebration fun and accident-free.

🔥 General Grilling Safety

• Place your grill well away from your home, deck railings, and anything overhead, such as eaves, awnings, or tree branches. Never grill under a covered porch or other enclosed area.

• Propane and charcoal grills are for outdoor use only. Grilling in an open garage is not “basically outside”.

• Keep children and pets at least 3 feet away from the grill area.

• Clean your grill regularly by removing grease and fat buildup from the grates and drip trays to help prevent grease fires. We want to keep those eyebrows intact!

🪵 Charcoal Grill Safety

• A charcoal chimney starter is a safe and effective way to light charcoal using newspaper instead of lighter fluid.

• If you choose to use lighter fluid, only use charcoal starter fluid. Never add lighter fluid, or any other flammable liquid, to hot or already-lit coals.

• Store charcoal starter fluid away from heat sources and out of the reach of children.

• Electric charcoal starters are another great option. If using one, be sure it’s plugged into an extension cord rated for outdoor use.

• When you’re finished grilling, allow the coals to cool completely before disposing of them in a metal container. Trust us, you don’t want to celebrate America’s birthday with the fire department and your insurance company.

❤️🤍💙 Have a safe and happy Fourth of July! Whether you’re grilling burgers or hot dogs we hope your only emergency is you forgot the buns!
