Fire Season Reminder 🔥
“Did you know that motorists are responsible for many of the wildfires sparked along the roadways? Nearly all of these fires could be prevented by following these safety rules:
-Secure safety chains on all towing equipment.
-Use appropriate safety pins and hitch ball to secure chains.
-Ensure your vehicle is properly maintained:
-Proper tire pressure can prevent a blowout; exposed wheel rims will throw sparks.
-Properly maintain brakes, brakes worn too thin can cause metal to metal contact which can cause sparks.
-Get regular tune ups to prevent a clogged exhaust system which can launch hot particles into vegetation.
-Avoid parking or driving in dry grass and brush. Hot exhaust pipes and mufflers can start a fire.“ 🔥 📸 Living With Fire #reno #sparks #carsoncity #verdi #virginiacity #nevada #washoecounty #tahoe
