With freezing weather sweeping across the country, we know parents may worry about keeping their babies warm. ❄️ It's important to remember that soft bedding, like cozy blankets, can block a baby’s airway and create an unsafe sleep environment. Instead, keep your little one warm with a sleep sack—it’s a safe and cozy alternative!

Winter driving can be hazardous. One simple way to keep yourself and everyone on the road safe is to slow down. Remember, ice and snow, take it slow.

December, January, and February are the peak months for heating fires. Space heaters are most often involved in these incidents.

Stay safe by keeping space heaters at least 3 feet from anything that can burn, and always turn them off when leaving the room or going to bed. Go to nfpa.org/winterfreeze for more tips.
