Just because you can see the equipment does not mean the other driver can see you. Remember that they may turn unexpectedly into fields or driveways. This provides better visibility to you and the other driver. Be alert for slow-moving vehicles, and give them plenty of space. In rural areas, fall brings the harvest season with large farming equipment on the roads. Share the road with harvesting equipment. If you see one crossing, more are bound to follow. Remember that some animals - deer in particular - frequently travel in groups. They are most active from dusk through dawn. Wildlife is on the move in the fall, so watch carefully for deer, turkeys and other critters crossing the road in front of your vehicle. Also, never pass a bus with flashing red lights on, or another vehicle stopped for a pedestrian. Slow down and take extra care to look for children in school zones, near playgrounds and residential areas.

School buses, students on bicycles and teen drivers are out on the roads.
Going back to school brings traffic changes. Never leave children or pets alone with a burning candle. Also, always extinguish a candle before going to bed or leaving the house. While glowing candles make any environment feel cozier, remember to keep burning candles away from anything that could burn, such as curtains, bedding or books. Most importantly, keep a fire extinguisher nearby at all times. Keep the area around the fireplace clear and remove any hanging decorations on your mantle. A buildup of soot and creosote can cause a chimney fire and a backup of dangerous carbon monoxide gas into your home. If you have a fireplace in your home, be sure to have it cleaned and inspected before lighting your first fire of the season. One of the simple joys of autumn is warming up in front of a fireplace. Inspect your fireplace before lighting the first fire. Think safety as you enjoy the cooler temperatures and vibrant colors: Safely warm up by the fire. And routines are changing because kids are back to school, the days are shorter and winter planning is underway. Nights are getting cooler, and the trees are starting to change colors as autumn begins.
