LAFD Offers Quick Tips on Wind Safety

Wednesday, November 10, 2010 | Posted by LAFD Media and Public Relations

Beware of Gusty North to Northeast winds in the greater Los Angeles area. Wind advisories may even be extended through the weekend. The LAFD encourages the following tips:

  • Use extreme caution while driving.
  • Report nearby smoke and flames immediately to 9-1-1.
  • If you encounter downed wires, assume they are energized.
  • Treat all non-functioning traffic signals as a four way stop.
  • Minimize the use of candles, lighters, fire pits and barbeques.
  • Secure household items, such as outdoor furniture.
  • Be watchful of toppling trees and wind-blown debris.
