	Lawn Mower Safety
	May 17th, 2009 - The trees are budding, the birds are chirping, the grass is green, and you're more stuffed up than a Thanksgiving turkey.  That can only mean one thing....SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!!  As you dust off your mower for the year, be sure to remember the fire hazards associated with refueling your mower.  The Consumer Product Safety Commission logs thousands of occurrences each year relating to property damage and personal injuries in fire related lawn mower incidents.  Here are a few things to remember... Never smoke when refueling the gas tank. Store gasoline in a UL, FM, or CSA rated container. Never keep gasoline in your home or fill gas tank indoors. Never store the machine or fuel container where there is an open flame, spark, or pilot light such as a water heater or other appliances. Never fill containers inside a vehicle or on a truck bed with a plastic bed liner. Always place containers on the ground away from your vehicle before filling. Wipe up gasoline spills immediately and do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition until fuel vapors have dissipated. Never over-fill the fuel tank. Replace gas cap and tighten securely. Never remove the gas cap or add fuel with the engine running. Allow the engine to cool, before refueling. Please review your lawn mower operator's manual for additional safety considerations.  Contact the product manufacturer for any additional questions.  The Silver Creek Fire Department wishes everyone a safe mowing season!
