9. Rock Chalk, KU! P.S. - Will your homeowners insurance cover my stuff or do I have Renter’s Insurance? Love you!

10. Please remember to……. Blow out a burning candle before leaving the room, or falling asleep. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Place all burning candles on a solid, non-combustible surface, well away from curtains, open windows and combustible decorations. Make sure your smoke detectors are working. Change the batteries twice a year; when you change your clocks. Rock Chalk, KU!

11. Please…… Smoke out doors and dispose of smoking materials properly. Plan your escape route now - You may have less than 2 minutes to escape after the detector sounds. Our goal – that EVERY Jayhawk returns home at the end of the school year! Rock Chalk, KU!

12. The men and women of Lawrence- Douglas County Fire Medical Department want YOU to have a safe school year! Rock Chalk, KU!
