Summer is in full swing, and with the warm weather and school out, let’s talk about all things electric.

🚨 Parents 🚨

We have seen some incredibly reckless “rolling” from your kids all around town. Please take the time to review the information below. If your child does not meet the age or licensing requirements for these electric items, take them away! There have been too many near misses in our town, and even more sad endings in other communities when it comes to children and these devices.

Before any jump to the comments about “dOn’T yOu HaVe AnYtHiNg BeTtER tO dO” or “gO fIgHt ReAl CrImE”, protecting your children is our business and should be yours too.
