As the weather conditions continue to get colder, the Sheboygan Fire Department is offering winter storm safety tips.
The tips include essential items and practices to keep residents safe before, during, and after a winter storm.
If a forecast calls for winter weather in the coming days, it is recommended to have emergency supplies for your home and car.
It is also recommended that fuel be replenished in vehicles and heating sources while also checking smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
The day before a storm, the fire department advises adjusting plans as needed and bringing pets indoors, ensuring they have water as well.
During a storm, it is important to stay vigilant and informed.
They recommend only driving if it is necessary, checking on neighbors and family, and ventilating emergency heat sources properly.
While the snow has yet to come, these tips are essential to be prepared for the first blizzard of the season.
