WPFD At The Annual Ferndale Country Christmas Parade

WPFD had a fantastic time at the Annual Ferndale Country Christmas Parade! It grows so much each year. So many additional vehicles and participants showed up to an all-time high crowd. It was a fantastic time. We will post a few of our pics here and add a few more as we get them.

Thanks to all the participants and the crowd that make this event so much fun every year! We sure have the Christmas spirit now!

Thanksgiving is near

Next week many folks will be cooking a bit more for the holiday. Many home fires start in the kitchen so safe cooking practices and readiness to extinguish a flash fire from a stovetop or oven can save your dinner and home. There are several techniques to stop a fire like this with the smother method. A lid, baking soda, or a fire extinguisher are all good methods for quick extinguishment of an oil or grease fire. The reason those things work so well is because WATER IS BAD ON A GREASE OR OIL FIRE! And remember to call 911 as quick as you can!

Be prepared, act quick, stay safe!
