PSA from your local insurance team: Things to NOT do IF you have a grease fire:
- Do NOT throw water on it: Water spreads the fire and can cause explosive steam burns. Unless your goal is to create a spectacular backyard fireball of pure regret, keep the water far away from the grease.
- Do NOT play the "Peter Panic" card: Panicking, doing nothing, or just running away from the grill is a terrible strategy. Sprinting across the lawn screaming about your burgers won't help; it just gives the fire room to get completely out of control.
- Do NOT try to fan it down: Swatting at a grease fire with an apron, a dish towel, or a giant piece of cardboard doesn't put it out. It just feeds the flames fresh oxygen and potentially turns your favorite spatula into a flaming torch.

PSA: It’s Lawn Care Season, and while that shiny new mower may be your pride and joy, the neighbors’ cars are shaking with anxiety. Here is a friendly reminder to make sure your shoot is pointed in a safe direction and to not blow your clippings onto the road.

They look like fluffy-tailed neighbors, but don’t be fooled: The rodents are officially on the move. 🐿️📦
As the seasons shift, every squirrel in the ZIP code is looking for a luxury condo—and your attic is currently at the top of their Zillow list.
Here is the "insurance-sized" reality check: Damage caused by squirrels (and most rodents) is normally EXCLUDED from standard homeowners insurance. 😱
________________________________________
Why they are your house's worst nightmare:
• The "Chew" Factor: Rodents have teeth that never stop growing. To keep them down, they’ll chew through wood, PVC, and even your expensive electrical wiring. ⚡
• The Insulation Remodel: They don't just live in your insulation; they destroy it, leaving you with a massive bill and a drafty house.
Don't wait for the scratching sounds at 2 AM. Seal those gaps, trim those overhanging branches (remember our "plotting" trees?), and keep the fuzzy vandals outside where they belong.

If you think your tree is plotting something... it usually is (And it could be a huge claim).

It is !
After a long winter, keep these two critical safety factors in mind:
• Clean Out the Grease Buildup: Last year’s drippings are this year’s fuel for a grease fire.
• Mind Your Placement: It’s tempting to keep the grill under a porch roof or close to the siding to block a spring breeze, but floating embers or high heat can melt vinyl siding or ignite wooden overhangs in seconds
Enjoy the sunshine and the smell of the charcoal—just make sure your first barbecue of the year is a safe one!
