Potter County Sheriff Office Has Some Tips To Avoid Disaster

The Potter County Sheriff Office took to social media today to give everyone a heads up regarding the potential fire danger for this weekend, and even gave some tips for how to avoid causing a disaster.

Their tips include:

No outside burning
No outside welding
Not driving in tall grass
Don't just toss your cigarettes out of the window
Make sure your trailer isn't dragging chains
