Halloween Safety Tips!
Attention Trick or Treaters!
During Trick or Treating hours, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM, be sure to visit our Firefighters at Station 131 located at 55 East Main Street!
They will be handing out candy, and you’ll have a chance to see the trucks and interact with our Firefighters and Paramedics!
Have fun tonight, be extremely safe, and Happy Halloween!
Safety Tips for Drivers:
Be alert for trick-or-treaters and other pedestrians.
Slow down and scan the road. Remember: Slower speeds save lives.
Watch for young trick-or-treaters in unexpected places. Children may be unaware of traffic and dart into the street unexpectedly.
If you see a drunk driver, call 911.
Safety Tips for Pedestrians:
Before festivities begin, create a “buddy system” to get each other home safely and prevent walking alone.
Follow the rules of the road and obey signs and signals.
If possible, cross streets at crosswalks or intersections. Look for cars in all directions, including those turning left or right.
Halloween Parties:
Safety Tips for Attendees
Before drinking, choose a designated driver, or schedule a ride-sharing, ride-hailing or taxi service.
If you drink, do not drive for any reason. Even a small amount of alcohol can affect driving ability.
Safety Tips for Hosts:
Be responsible and take action to make sure guests get home safely.
Prepare to call taxis ride-shares, provide sleeping accommodations, or — if you’re sober — drive guests home yourself.
Collect car keys from guests who are drinking.
Provide non-alcoholic beverage options.
That’s a lot of information, but useful nonetheless! Have a great and safe day Brownsburg!
