Halloween is coming up quick; one of the easiest things you can do to make the holiday safe for all is turn your porch lights on! Along with making sure cords aren't present in walkways, this simple step can help kids and adults alike avoid tripping hazards. #Halloween #safety

In Pueblo, community members rolled up their sleeves for hands-on CPR/AED/First Aid training, practicing the skills that can help save a life. "You don't have to be a medical professional to save a life. These are skills anyone can learn," instructor Danilella Hermosillo said.

When a home fire breaks out, families may have less than 2 minutes to escape. A working smoke alarm can mean the difference between life and death. On Oct. 10, volunteers went door to door to help families be safe in Colorado Springs' Canterbury Mobile Home Community.

For Red Cross volunteers who regularly help families facing the aftermath of home fires, the importance of prevention is especially clear. The goal is simple: give families the warning and knowledge they need to get out safely when every second counts.

Prevention and preparedness are year-round efforts. Have you tested your smoke alarms lately? Take a few minutes today to check them and talk with your family about your home fire escape plan. #RedCross #FirePrevention #HomeFireCampaign #Preparedness

Why don't vampires use autocorrect? They love type Os. So do we, and if your blood is type O, we'd love for you to donate this week! Blood drives are scheduled this week in Aurora, Broomfield, Johnstown, Sterling, Colorado Springs and more: redcrossblood.org

Temperatures will be below freezing tonight across most of Colorado and Wyoming for the first time this season. It's a good time to remind everyone that changing wet clothing frequently is important to prevent body heat loss and potential hypothermia.

In addition to taking care of staying warm yourself, don't forget about your pets! Bring them inside during cold weather or have a place where they have food, water and can stay out of the cold if they're larger animals.
