Fourth of July Holiday Safety

Happy Fourth of July 2007! On behalf of the QuickQuote family, I'd like to wish everyone a happy and safe holiday. It's forecasted to be a hot 105 degrees here in Reno. In case you are hosting a get together to celebrate the holiday, the following summer safety tips come from The Atlantic Companies (providers of homeowners insurance), the Red Cross and other organizations: Make sure all children are supervised in or around swimming pools, ponds, rivers, etc. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, an estimated 260 children under the age of five drown each year in residential swimming pools. Another 3,000 or so survive, with many suffering permanent brain damage. Wash your hands before handling food and be careful not to cross-contaminate foods dur
