Noticeably quieter during the week. Â As schools return to an in person setting, families are unable to extend their beach time like last summer. Â And unfortunately, some local businesses are reducing their hours due to lack of help.
Yet we know there will be plenty of peaceful beach days ahead!
Golf Cart Safety
An important warning based on a recent alarm call handled by the Avalon Fire Department:
Batteries in golf carts emit hydrogen (an odorless, colorless, and highly flammable gas) when charging.
In high quantities, Â hydrogen gas will activate a carbon monoxide detector.
The alarm call to the Avalon Fire Department was caused by a cart charging while inside a closed garage.
Therefore, charging the cart should be limited to outside, or in a well ventilated area.
