Fog can reduce visibility in an instant! Slow down, use low-beam headlights, and leave extra space between vehicles. Stay alert and drive safe—don’t let fog sneak up on you! 🚗⚠️ #ReadyNJ #FogSafety #DriveSmart

Candles are great for creating a mood, but the mood can change quickly if they start a home fire. ☑️Keep them at least 12 inches from anything that can burn. ☑️Blow them out when leaving a room. ☑️Be sure they are in stable holders & are out of the reach of children and pets.

Don’t let black ice sneak up on you! When recent rain or snowmelt meets freezing temperatures, black ice can form — and you might not even see it. Be #WinterReady and stay safe on the road by slowing down, increasing following distance, avoiding sudden turns, and staying alert.
