Winter called—unbothered by your plans. Check road conditions; postpone if needed. If traveling, be road ready: leave early and slow down. Preparedness is proactive; plus, we need the moisture.

🔥 Using a space heater this winter? 🛋️ Keep it at least 3 feet away from flammable materials, plug it directly into a wall outlet, and never leave it unattended. Stay warm, stay safe! #SpaceHeaterSafety #WinterPreparedness #StaySafe 🔗 ein.az.gov/hazards/home-fire…
