Firefighters Remind You to 'Pool Safely'
With record high temperatures continuing through and beyond the holiday weekend, we expect many will turn to recreational activities in and around water. The Los Angeles Fire Department joins the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and partner agencies in reminding every American to Pool Safely.
Pool Safely is a national public education effort to reduce child drownings, non-fatal submersions and entrapments in swimming pools and spas. Los Angeles Firefighters support this effort through their belief in the campaign slogan: Simple Steps Save Lives!
The 7 Simple Steps to Pool Safely:
1. Constant Supervision
2. Proper Fencing
3. Pool & Spa Safety Covers
4. Door, Gate & Pool Alarms
5. Safety Drain Covers
6. Swimming Lessons
7. Learning CPR
