Pool Safety This Summer

Statistics show that drowning is the second leading cause of injury-related deaths among children ages one to 14, and most of these involve residential pools. The Kirkwood Fire Department would like to remind everyone of the safety issues related to pools. LIGHTNING STRIKES are also a summer safety issue. It may seem like a hassle when the lifeguard at Kirkwood Pool tells you to get out of the water because thunder has been heard, but the scary truth is that water is a deadly place to be when lightning strikes occur. July is the deadliest month for lightning strikes. Click here for information on staying safe during a lightning storm [Source: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration].
