The Memorial Day holiday brings with it the excitement of summer’s start and the many outdoor celebrations that happen during warmer weather. These events and activities can also present dangers related to fires, and residents are encouraged to review fire and burn prevention tips, provided by Camp I Am Me (formerly the Illinois Fire Safety Alliance).
“This is the time of year where residents can take advantage of being outdoors, as they attend barbecues, go camping or enjoy other activities where fire or other burn dangers can be present,” said Camp I Am Me President, and Barrington Countryside Fire Protection District Chief James Kreher. “We urge everyone to be vigilant and follow basic safety tips and precautions.”
