WINTER FIRE PREVENTION TIPS
Home fires occur more in winter than in any other season.
Install and test carbon monoxide alarms at least once a month.
Have a qualified professional clean and inspect your chimney and vents every year.
Store cooled ashes in a tightly covered metal container, and keep it outside at least 10 feet from your home and any nearby buildings.
Keep anything that can burn at least 3 feet from any heat source like fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators or space heaters.
Plug only one heat-producing appliance (such as a space heater) into an electrical outlet at a time.
HOLIDAY FIRE PREVENTION TIPS
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.
