Be sure to think smart about safety when preparing for the cold. #firesafetyBrrr it’s cold outside! We’re not sure if it’s fall or winter in Harris County, but in any case, don’t forget to plug space heaters directly into wall outlets and never into an extension cord or power strip. #FirePrevention #FireSafety
Great fire safety tips from Cypress Creek Fire Department / Harris County ESD 13 about being prepared for cold days. Heating equipment continues to be the second leading cause of home fires behind cooking and the second leading cause of home fire deaths behind smoking.

Wonderful salute to Harris County Sheriff's Office dispatcher Julie Boehm who has worked as a dispatcher in the Communications Division of HCSO for 18 years.
"I like to be the calm voice for the deputies,” said Boehm. “When they’ve got something going on that’s tragic. Or they’re fighting with somebody and they hear that voice on the radio that’s calm, it helps keep them calm and lets them know that somebody’s listening and somebody’s getting help to them.”
