    Keep Dry
    These pictures were taken near Grande Prairie, Alberta,
    Canada in the early morning of January 31, 2005.
     When roads are dry for long periods with a lot
    of traffic, then become wet after a rain, they
    become slippery.
     Vehicle detritus (rubber, liquids, etc.,) that
    “cures” onto a road surface in dry weather,
    reverts to greased owl poop when wet.
     Be cautious when driving in wet conditions
     From the fire department, here are a few
    reminders:
     Use only flame resistant/retardant or non-
    combustible decorations
     Keep candles at least 3 feet from anything that
    burns, don’t leave them unattended
     UL tested electrical decorations only
     Only 2 or 3 strands of lights to a socket
     Don’t cook unattended
     Don’t burn trash in the fireplace
     Water the dead or dying tree and remove it after
    2 weeks
     Don’t use electrical lights on a metal tree
     Turn off lights at bedtime
     Smoke Alarms – have a lot, with good batteries
     Have and practice your family home escape plan
     Have the old dead tree picked up rather than
    burning it.
