- Always wear a life jacket when swimming in a lake or pond, regardless of skill level or comfort.
- Always supervise children when they are near or in the water.
- Ensure everyone knows how to swim and never swim alone.
- Be aware of local water conditions and follow posted safety guidelines.
- Never drink before or while driving a boat or any other recreational vehicles (golf carts, jet ski, e-scooter, etc.).
- Keep a first aid kit nearby the pool or on the boat.
- BBQ Safety:
- Keep grills at least 10 feet away from your house and any flammable materials.
- >Never leave the grill unattended while in use.
- Use long-handled tools to avoid burns.
- Keep a fire extinguisher or a bucket of water nearby.
- Fireworks Safety:
- Never allow young children to handle fireworks
- Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby to extinguish any potential fires.
- Light fireworks one at a time and maintain a safe distance.
- Soak both spent and unused fireworks in water for a few hours before discarding
- Instead of sparklers for your children, consider these alternatives:
- Glow sticks, confetti cannon or poppers, colorful streamers, silly string
- Look uphttps://www.myhighplains.com/texas-burn-bans/ firework restrictions / burn bans in your area before planning on any fireworks

- Drinking Safety:
