Dighton Fire Department Offers Halloween Safety Tips: With Halloween approaching, it is important to consider the potential hazards the holiday brings for participants of all ages.

Children should be dressed appropriately for the weather and wear reflective attire or carry flashlights to ensure they can be seen in the dark. Young trick-or-treaters should always be accompanied by an adult. Older children should be reminded of how to trick-or-treat safely, and should use the “buddy system” to make sure no one walks alone.

Dighton Fire Department Urges Residents to ‘Charge into Fire Safety’ During Fire Prevention Week: The National Fire Protection Association’s annual Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 5-11.

This year’s theme is “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home.” Many of the devices we use every day — from phones and laptops to scooters and power tools — run on lithium-ion batteries. While convenient, they can pose a fire risk if not handled properly.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other falls research:

More than one out of four Americans age 65+ falls each year.

Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among older adults.

Falls result in more than 3 million injuries treated in emergency departments annually, including over 800,000 hospitalizations.

For older adults in the U.S., fall death rates went up by 30% from 2007-2016, and researchers predict there will be 7 deadly falls every hour by 2030.

The majority (60%) of falls happen in the home, 30% in a public setting, and 10% in a health care center.

As we age, it’s common to worry about falling. But there are evidence-based exercise programs that can help improve balance, strength, and flexibility!

Did you know that Tai Chi is an evidence-based exercise program that is offered by our friends at Dighton Council on Aging?
