LOS ANGELES-
With record high temperatures continuing through and beyond the holiday weekend, we expect many will turn to recreational activities in and around water. The ÃûæÂÖ±²¥ joins the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and partner agencies in reminding every American to Pool Safely.
Pool Safely is a national public education effort to reduce child drownings, non-fatal submersions and entrapments in swimming pools and spas. ÃûæÂÖ±²¥fighters support this effort through their belief in the campaign slogan: Simple Steps Save Lives!
