Safety First during the Festive Season
Christmas Holidays are always so much fun. Homes, yards and streets are so vibrant and come alive with colorful lights and ornaments. This is also a time of year where house fires increase. There are many things that increase the potential of house fires during this festive season. Here are a few tips to help you keep your family and home safe during the holidays.
– Insure that any burning candles are out of reach of childrens’ little hands and fingers.
– All candles should be blown out before you leave the house even if it is just for a few minutes.
– It is always so much fun to host Christmas Diner but so much potential for burns. Children should be kept out of the kitchen when the turkey, ham… comes out of the oven and hot food is being prepared.
– If you are using a natural tree, always give it plenty of water. A dry tree is a fire hazard.
– Led lights are a “lower fire hazard”. Use this type of lights for your tree and yard lights.
– Do not use your fireplace to burn Christmas paper and wrappers
Please stay safe during the Festive Season.
