Watch Your Butts

Watch your butts and dispose of cigarettes properly.

Smoking is dangerous for a number of reasons, but not all of them involve your lungs.  Your habit could have devastating effects on the people around you, even if that was never your intention.  

How many times have you noticed someone smoking while walking to the entrance of a business or apartment complex in Benton, AR?  Right before the person enters the building, they flick their cigarette butt down onto the parking lot or sidewalk without a further thought.  Sometimes a cigarette butt lands In a grassy area or on top of something else flammable.  This moment of careless littering could have tragic consequences.  

It only takes a moment for dry grass to ignite near the entrance of a building.  Fire is opportunistic and rapidly spreads, meaning it could engulf a multi-unit residence before everyone has a chance to escape.  Stop the carelessness.   Make sure cigarette butts are completely extinguished and make sure to always dispose of them in the proper receptacles.

The home you save could be your own.
