Every year there seem to be a lot of fire safety information that comes out as the holidays get closer. There are a few reasons for this. Did you know the top three days of the year for home candle fires are Christmas, New Year’s Day and New Year’s Eve? That’s according to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA). They are responsible for developing and delivering fire prevention and safety education programs. (USFA) offers the tips below:
- Only use decorations that are flame-retardant or not flammable.
- Check holiday lights each year for frayed wires or excessive wear.
- Don’t link more than three strands of holiday lights.
- Never leave a burning candle unattended. Consider using battery-operated flameless candles.
- Keep your live Christmas tree away from heat sources and room exits.
- Water your live Christmas tree daily to keep it from becoming dry.
