Be Safe

If you are cooking this holiday, be sure to follow safe cooking practices in the kitchen to prevent a fire that could ruin your holiday season. And, as you know, the Thanksgiving holiday and weekend are among the busiest travel days of the year and as a result some of the most dangerous for potential accidents. Whether you are traveling near or far, please take extra care. We want you to be safe, so remember to:

  • Buckle up
  • Share the road…be patient if there are delays
  • Avoid distracted driving…focus on the road and don’t text while driving
  • Share driving duties with a companion
  • Obey speed limits & road rules
  • Stay alert…stop every two hours
  • Don’t drink and drive
  • Don’t drive drowsy or sleepy
  • Give yourself plenty of time

Again, on behalf of the Murphy family and the Agency team, THANK YOU! We wish you and yours a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Ice Dams: A Winter Challenge for Homeowners

Read our blog post, Ice Dams: A Winter Challenge for Homeowners for some great tips on preventing ice dams and what to do in the case of ice dams on your roof. Ice dams are more than just an inconvenience—they can cause significant damage to your home. While prevention is the best strategy, ice dams can still form despite your efforts, so having a response plan is crucial. Ice dams occur when attic air warms to above freezing, causing snow on the roof to melt. As the water runs down the roof and reaches the colder edges, it refreezes, creating an ice dam.
