Do you have a short safety message you want to "get out there"?  A safety haiku or limerick?  The TIVFD is looking for some new messages for the Hazard Board at the ferry.  We will choose the best short messages and have them printed up and post them throughout the summer.  We already have Check Your Smoke Alarms etc. and we are looking for new messages with some zip to make people take notice.
