Summer is meant for bikes, backyard time, and being outside with friends and family. With just a little extra awareness, those moments can stay fun and worry-free.
At Bexar Bulverde Fire Department, we see every day how prevention makes a difference.
Easy Safety Habits for Everyday Summer Fun:
- Helmet every ride
Even short rides can lead to falls. Helmets help protect against serious injuries.
- Keep a safe distance from grills and fire pits
A simple three-foot boundary helps prevent burns.
- Leave fireworks to adults
Even small sparklers can cause serious injuries.
- Make sunscreen part of the routine
Applying before heading out—and reapplying—helps protect kids’ skin.
- Keep shoes on outside
Hot pavement and sharp objects can cause avoidable injuries.
- Watch driveways and neighborhood streets
Many accidents happen close to home. A quick reminder to stop and look can go a long way.
Most of these are small, everyday habits—but together, they help keep your family safe.
