Common Holiday Fire Hazards to Avoid

As you decorate and celebrate, keep these risks in mind:

  • Electrical Overload: Ensure you do not overload circuits with excessive holiday lighting. Check that all extension cords are rated for the equipment they power and are not frayed or damaged.
  • Cooking Safety: Holiday events often involve more cooking than usual. Never leave stoves or ovens unattended. Keep flammable items, like decorations or wrapping paper, away from heat sources.
  • Candle Use: If using candles, place them far away from curtains, trees, and other flammable materials. Always extinguish them before leaving a room or going to sleep.
