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.
