House Fires – Follow These Safety Tips to
Avoid House Fires
December 4, 2019 – Holiday fires kill over 400 Americans every year and cause more than $990 million in damage. From cooking fires to faulty wiring on Christmas lights, this is the time of year when fire departments around the country are inundated with calls. While you are decorating your house this holiday season, reduce your risk of fires or injuries by following these safety tips.
- Check all tree lights (even new ones) for frayed wires or loose connections.
- Do not overload extension cords and unplug when not in use.
- Keep candles at least three feet away from flammable materials.
- Store candles, lighters, and matches in a locked cabinet away from children.
- If you are getting a real tree, do not let the water level drop below the fresh cut level and keep your tree well hydrated.
- Do not place your tree (real or artificial) within 3 feet of a radiator, space heater, fireplace, or heat vent.
