Winter/Holiday Fire Safety
Posted: December 6, 2013 @ 6:38 PM by brussell
We would like to remind everyone to be safe this holiday season. Here are a few tips to help keep you safe.
- Do not overload your electrical outlets.
- Be careful with extension cords and don’t pinch them or crush them under things.
- Keep lit candles a safe distance from decorations and do not leave them burning when you’re not around.
- Pay attention to whether your light strings are for indoor use, outdoor use, or both and use them appropriately.
- Use clips, not nails, to hold your lights so you avoid damage to cords from accidental nail punctures.
- Don’t forget to be safe in the kitchen when preparing your holiday meals. Don’t leave food unattended on the stove.
- If you have a real tree, make sure you keep it watered.
NFPA quick facts:
- Two of every five home decoration fires are started by candles.
- Nearly half of holiday decoration fires happen because decorations are placed too close to a heat source.
