In 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that distracted driving resulted in 3,275 fatalities and nearly 325,000 injuries in the United States.

Why Firefighters Have Greater Cancer Risk — and What Departments Are Doing About It
Governing
When we think about the dangers firefighters face in the course of their jobs, we often think about hot flames and collapsing buildings. But there’s growing awareness of another serious job risk: cancer. Over the years, more data has emerged to back up what some fire chiefs were already suspecting. To combat the growing problem, firefighters are now adopting new equipment and approaches to better protect against toxic smoke and soot.
PERSONAL NOTE
Do I Need Umbrella Insurance?
Travelers
If you own a home, car or boat, you’re likely to have primary insurance policies that provide liability coverage for each of these assets. However, your primary policy limits may not be enough to cover all claimed damages, which can cause unexpected financial hardship. That’s where umbrella insurance comes in.
