Most experts suggest we use Daylight Savings time and Standard time changes as a reminder to change your smoke detector batteries. Did you change your smoke detector batteries last week? And, just as important as your smoke alarm, do you have a carbon monoxide detector installed? I ask you because many more people will suffer from this silent & deadly gas as they will from the smoke of a fire. Please do yourself and your family a favor and make sure you have both.

While you are taking care of this, do you have a small portable fire extinguisher ready? With more candles being burned in the winter and more wood burning fireplace usage, it is also important to have a dependable fire extinguisher in your kitchen and near other fire hazards.

Protect your family and make sure you have all 3 checked and ready.

Because we Care!

p.s. Please share these safety tips with someone you care for… I just did!

They say Halloween is a time when magic is more powerful and spirits come into contact with the physical world!  Although it’s not an official holiday, it’s usually celebrated among family members, friends, and co-workers.

Trick or Treating! Halloween is a fun time of year for children and adults.  Did you know Halloween is now the second most famous American holiday behind Christmas?

Whether you’re organizing a party, preparing candies for the little monsters, decorating your home or doing tricks with small ghosts and goblins, Ed Cantu Insurance offers these safety tips to make your Halloween safe and fun.

1. Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.

2. Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible. Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings.

3. When driving, keep your headlights on at all times. Be sure to take extra-precaution and drive slowly in residential neighborhoods.

4. Like any time, avoid distracting driving. Don’t use your cell phone while driving or munch on candy while behind the wheel.

5. Choose face paint and makeup whenever possible instead of masks, which can obstruct a child’s vision.

6. When selecting a costume, make sure it is the right size to prevent trips and falls.

7.  Always inspect your child’s candy and treats before they eat them!
