BENTON COUNTY, Wash.—
Benton County Fire District 4 shared on social media Sunday how to be ready for a power outage.
One way is to have a generator to help keep big electronics like a refrigerator/freezer running, provide some light and even help charge your cellphones.
If you have a generator, here’s what BCFD4 says you should know before starting it up.
Don’t use it in the rain or wet areas and never use it in or near enclosed areas.
