This year's theme for Fire Prevention week is   STAY FIRE SMART - DON'T GET BURNED and focuses on burn Awareness and safety.



A few tips:

Remember to always be careful with anything flammable or hot.  Take care with pots and pans on stoves--do NOT leave the handle hang over at a point where is can be spilled or pulled over by a young child.  Be careful what you wear when cooking as loose sleeves or garments can catch fire from the open flame of a gas stove or from the electric burner. 

If your clothes catch fire - STOP, DROP and ROLL  Do NOT run away as it will fan the flames and make matters worse.

If you do get burned - immediately place the affected area under cool water for at least five minutes to COOL A BURN.  Do NOT use butter as it will continue to cook the burned area, aloe which does not work in the initial moments after a burn or ice as the ice will also burn but in a different way - cold burn or in some cases the ice cube can still to your skin.

For more information, contact your local fire department or go to NFPA.org.

Have a fire and burn safe week (October 4-10) and remember - Fire Safety is an all year round concept.  It never takes a vacation!

Sunday $ has finally taken to the track and is a winner with a 5 ribbon review from Chrissy at Romance Junkies:

 

Christy Poff’s latest release SUNDAY MONEY will definitely get your engines revving and jumpstart your libido.  Rick has a special zest for life that shows in the way he embraces every opportunity.  Shelby’s spent so long playing down her womanhood and concentrating on running her business that admitting to her needs is difficult.  They make an ideal couple and their pleasures and businesses seem to blend effortlessly.  Ms. Poff blends romance, suspense and the excitement of Indy class racing into one novel that holds your attention.  What I really appreciate about this story is how the author takes such care in ‘humanizing’ the characters and demonstrating their strengths, fears and desires.  SUNDAY MONEY is a wonderful story and gives me a new appreciation for the fine sport of race car driving – something I’ve been sadly lacking in recent years.

Don't forget the giveaway celebrating my latest release.  See the previous post (below) for all the details.

Best always, CP
