Temperatures are warming up across the
state and we wanted to remind you of an important safety tip to be aware of
at this time of year. Window falls account for approximately eight deaths and
3,300 injuries among children ages five and under annually, according to the
United States Consumer Product Safety Commission. A local story highlights
how quickly these falls can happen, and may occur even when the window has a
screen: Toddler falls
from second-floor window. The Stop at
4 website has lots of great resources for preventing window falls. www.stopat4.com. Please
help us spread the word and keep our children safe.
