Nicks Towing Service, Inc. Newsletter - February 2015

In the midst of all of the winter storms we'd be remiss, as an emergency service provider, not to put together a few safety reminders. It's sort of like getting on an airplane and reading the safety instruction card. It's all information you probably know but it might not be so bad to review "just in case". One of the best tips we can provide is to make us a contact in your cell phone. You never know when you might need us.

On a more light hearted note the "When Hobbies Get Out of Hand" segment below will hopefully put a smile on your face.

Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Nick Testa

President

It never fails, when you are the least prepared is when you need us the most! You're at a family event on a weekend when you get the call that one of your driver's is broken down or you are traveling with your wife and get into an accident with your personal vehicle. Whatever the scenario we can be there for you. Add Nick's Towing into your contacts on your cell phone and we can be on our way in a jiffy by just pressing 'send'.

How To Help Prepare For A Winter Storm

Is there a winter storm on the horizon? Take some time now to gather the supplies you will need to ride out the storm at home, or to safely venture outside if you must. Once you have taken the appropriate precautions, you can focus on enjoying the winter wonderland outside your window.

Check your Supplies

- Make sure you have a snow shovel and ice melt to keep walkways clear and safe.
- Check that you have sufficient heating fuel for your home and fuel for your generator, if you have one.
- If you will be using a fireplace or wood-burning stove, you should have a good supply of dry, seasoned wood.
- Have warm clothing and blankets on hand, and stock non-perishable food items and necessary medications to last you and your family for several days.

Get Ready for a Power Outage

- Turn your heat up now, and close off any rooms that are not in use.
- Check pipe insulation, and if you lose power, allow water to run at a trickle to prevent pipes from freezing.
- Charge your battery-powered electronic and communications devices.
- Keep a battery-powered radio on hand to stay aware of changing weather conditions.
- Get out your flashlights, batteries, first aid kit and other emergency supplies.

Stay Inside - and Safe

- Drive only if you absolutely must, and be sure your car is outfitted with snow tires and has adequate fuel and an emergency supply kit.
- If you go outside to shovel snow, know your limits and try not to overtax yourself.
- Protect yourself from frost bite and hypothermia by wearing layers of warm, loose-fitting, lightweight clothing.
- Stay away from downed power lines.
- Keep your pets inside, or make other suitable arrangements for them.
