Beware of what's in garages

There can be dangers lurking inside garages that we can forget about. Some will be packed full of contents, which can be a blend of non-hazardous and hazardous materials. The congestion factor alone presents a hazard as there may be stuff piled high or above in the attic area. Protect yourself

Top Comments of the Week

"We pray for a full and quick recovery. We also hope they find out what caused this, and let us all learn so we may not do the same thing."
�Alan Shedler in response to 11 FDNY firefighters injured in 2-rig crash

"In Michigan you need upwards of 300 hours of training to fully qualify as FF II with Hazmat operations. Who's covering their jobs while they train? What's the problem with hiring more firefighters and being selective in their availability based on their primary jobs? As a training officer of a paid-on-call department, I don't understand this rationale."
�John Borysewicz in response to City won't hire firefighters, to cross train public works employees instead
