Top 3 Ways to Stay Safe on the Water:
- Wear a life jacket. They exist for a reason. 8 out of 10 people who died in a boating accident weren't wearing a life jacket.
- Check the weather forecast and the sky for a storm and/or a change in water conditions.
- Avoid operating a boat under the influence. It's the same idea as drinking and driving. You cannot react as quickly.
Our firefighters loves to get out on the boat, just like you. But we always follow these three rules. The consequences are not worth it.
