FULL TRANSCRIPT BELOW

Hey, this is CFO and State Fire Marshal Jimmy Patronis.

Generators can be helpful during the time of recovery of Hurricane Ian but they also can be deadly.

You can’t run them inside your house.

You don’t need to operate them near open windows or doors.

And never re-fuel them while they’re hot.

Again, we’re all in this together.

Stay safe.
