Each year thousands of families mark the holidays as a time of tragedy instead of joy due to deadly fires. The real tragedy is that most of these fires can be prevented. The Virginia Department of Emergency Services offers the following checklist to help you and your family eiyoy a happy and safe holiday season:
Decorative Lights. Electrical fires occur throughout the year, but during the holidays, they increase sharply. Don’t overload outlets and circuits. Most of us use the same Christmas lights year after year. Check them carefully each year and repair or replace those with worn or frayed cords.
Also, use care when placing these decorations, especially in windows where curtains can ignite easily. It’s best not to leave decorative lights on all night. You can buy a relatively inexpensive timer which will turn lights on and off automatically.
Candles. Candles should be carefully placed and never left unattended. Burning candles on a Christmas tree is very dangerous, even if you stay in the room. Trees dry out quickly and can ignite before you are able to take action.
