Remember to set your clocks back one hour this Saturday night. It's also a good time to check the batteries in smoke detectors and weather radios.

Impaired driving isn’t just alcohol. THC, CBD, prescription medications, and even some over-the-counter meds can affect your ability to drive safely. Call a sober friend, rideshare, or taxi. They’ll get you home safely and ensure your #Halloween fun doesn’t end in a nightmare.

Halloween Safety Tip: Give children flashlights to carry for extra lighting, or add glow sticks to their costumes. These simple additions can help make them more visible while they enjoy a fun and safe Halloween.

It's Halloween week! 🎃
Parents, remind yourselves that some costumes — similar to puffy coats — have excess material and can prevent a car seat from keeping your child SAFE in a crash.
Don't risk it — change them into their costumes at your destination. 🦄✔️

Top tier weather continues through the end of the work week. Models are indeed showing a chance for some rain to return to the area this weekend, but Halloween evening should be dry!
ALT Fantastic weather looks to continue through the week, but we know many are focused on the forecast for Saturday. Models are indeed showing a chance for some rain to return to the area by Halloween, and there could be some showers around by Saturday evening. But it appears that the widespread rain likely holds off until Sunday.
Do you have one of these devices on the wall somewhere at your workplace, school or public building (in Hamilton County TN)? It's an AED, or Automated External Defibrillator. Recently, after calling 9-1-1, a caller was directed to get the AED and use it on a man suffering from cardiac arrest. If you haven't registered your AED with us yet, here is information, instructions and a link to register your AED on our website:

Did you know? Nearly 1 in 4 women in the U.S. have experienced physical violence from an intimate partner during their lifetime.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, support survivors, and affirm that everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued in their relationships.
Domestic violence is not always physical. It can also involve emotional, verbal, sexual, or financial abuse. Recognizing the warning signs and knowing where to find support can make a difference.
If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, you are not alone. Confidential help is available 24/7 through the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
Call: 1-800-799-SAFE (7233)

Everyone deserves a healthy relationship. Together, we can break the silence, support survivors, and build a safer community.

It's a treat of a week on tap for us! Rain chances should hold off until after Halloween festivities have wrapped up.

Fantastic weather this week, but we know many are focused on Sat's weather. Models do show a chance for some showers around by Halloween evening. But widespread rain likely holds off until Sun. So there's reason to be optimistic for a dry Trick-Or-Treating experience for most!
A man collapsed at a local pickleball court and likely would have died, if not for Elise Sprimont’s call to @HC911ECD and an AED. Anchor/Reporter @MichelleLocal3 explains the sequence of events in this excellent story: facebook.com/share/p/1KGwapW…

It is illegal to pass a school bus that has stopped to load or unload students. Never pass on the right side of the bus, as this is where the children enter or exit.
Remind your child that the bus stop is not a place to run or play.
ALT Stop completely for school buses. Tennessee code 55-8-151.
