Be Prepared for Winter Driving

Winter has arrived and with it all the cold, icy trappings. While some of us might love the beauty of the snow and the recreational activities that go along with it, most of us don’t love the driving conditions winter weather creates.

In prepping for different types of disasters that can come and potentially affect our families, house fires often get overlooked, even though they are the cause of thousands of deaths in our country every single year.
