It's Lightning Season - Lets Be Safe!

Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue would like to remind everyone to use caution at the first signs of lightning and ask you to consider these points:
1. PLAN in advance your evacuation and safety measures. When you first see lightning or hear thunder, activate your emergency plan. Now is the time to go to a building or a vehicle. Lightning often precedes rain, so don't wait for the rain to begin before suspending activities.
