Taking a beat to appreciate Fat Bear Week. Likely the all-time most successful government social media campaign by every metric. NASA has to send people to space to get the same amount of attention. Remarkable work from NPS every year to coordinate the public observation of fat bears.

Anchoring is meant to prevent tip-overs onto people. Generally, that'll mean dressers in bedrooms and TVs/TV stands anywhere. But, it can also mean wardrobes, nightstands, shelving, etc. The instructions that come with the furniture should let you know if the manufacturer recommends anchoring.

Oh, no. We tell renters to anchor with screw-in kits anyway and just patch the wall after.

Not a single tip-over prevention kit at Cap'n Clark's Ottoman Empire. Very disappointing.

Picking apples is also cool, but apples will not warn you of carbon monoxide. Repeat - apples are not a substitute for working carbon monoxide alarms.

If you own 20+ flashlights, at a certain point you're probably running an unregistered lighthouse but we're not the lighthouse safety commission so keep up the good work.

One portable generator can produce as much carbon monoxide as hundreds of cars. If you own a generator, only run it outdoors at least 20 feet away from your home.

Rare September nor’easter set to slam East Coast with heavy rain, damaging winds

Moderate to major flooding is likely from North Carolina to Nantucket, Massachusetts, with southeastern Virginia — particularly the Virginia Beach-to-Norfolk area — at highest risk.

Not sure if it would help for you to show up with a smoke alarm to a CPSC interview, but it would make for a pretty fun story.

Headlamp is fine! Anything that isn't your phone... or an oil lantern... or a candle you carry around like you're a 17th century child looking for ghosts. Spoiler - the ghosts are carbon monoxide and you need to get out of there.

Appreciate you holding us accountable over the fish we used in this graphic. We did search extensively for a stock photo of a legitimate flashlight fish but could not find one and had to settle. Rare that we need such a specific photo at a specific angle, but we will try to do better in the future.

The facility had not replaced dozens of recalled sprinkler heads, despite identification during a prior fire-safety inspection. The fire underscores the need to remind facilities of the dangers posed by unremediated sprinklers and encourage remediation wherever recalled units are still in use.
