Chaverim of Cleveland Yom Tov Fire and Safety Guide
Chaverim wants to remind you that on all yomim tovim–but especially this year since there are many three-day yomim tovim–there are many increased risks from extra cooking, leaving stoves and ovens on, increased use of fire and more.
Please download and print the following guide to help identify potential safety problems and work to avoid or mitigate them. Of primary importance, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. Please make sure yours are healthy. Never ignore a detector’s alarm.
