Fire Hazards During the Holidays: Stay Safe This Christmas

The holiday season is filled with joy, but it also brings fire hazards. Stay vigilant and protect your loved ones by following these tips:

1. Tree Safety: Keep your tree well-watered. A dry tree can ignite in seconds. Avoid placing it near heat sources or open flames.

2. Lights: Inspect holiday lights for frayed wires or broken bulbs. Use only UL-rated lights and turn them off before bed or leaving the house.

3. Candles: Never leave candles unattended. Consider battery-operated alternatives for a safer glow.

4. Cooking: The kitchen gets busy during the holidays. Stay in the kitchen while cooking and keep flammable items away from stoves.

5. Fireplace: Clear debris from your fireplace and use a screen to catch sparks. Avoid burning wrapping paper, which can cause flare-ups.

Happy Holidays!
