          Holiday Safety        

 

Holiday decorating

 

dot

Use caution with holiday decorations and whenever possible, choose those made with flame-resistant, flame-retardant or non-combustible materials.

dot

Keep candles away from decorations and other combustible materials, and do not use candles to decorate Christmas trees.

dot

Purchase only lights and electrical decorations bearing the name of an independent testing lab, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and maintenance.

dot

Carefully inspect new and previously used light strings and replace damaged items before plugging lights in. Do not overload extension cords.

dot

Check your strands of lights to determine the number of strands that may be connected.  Connect no more than three strands of push-in bulbs and a maximum of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs.

dot

Always unplug lights before replacing light bulbs or fuses.

dot

Don't mount lights in any way that can damage the cord's wire insulation (i.e., using clips, not nails).

dot

Keep children and pets away from light strings and electrical decorations.

dot

Turn off all light strings and decorations before leaving home or going to bed.

 

 

Holiday entertaining

 

dot

Unattended cooking is the leading cause of home fires in the U.S. When cooking for holiday visitors, remember to keep an eye on the range.

dot

If you smoke, smoke outside.

dot

Wherever you smoke, provide plenty of large, deep sturdy ashtrays and check them frequently. Cigarette butts can smolder in the trash and cause a fire, so completely douse cigarette butts with water before discarding.

dot

After a party, always check on, between and under upholstery and cushions and inside trash cans for cigarette butts that may be smoldering.

dot

Keep matches and lighters up high, out of sight and reach of children (preferably in a locked cabinet). When smokers visit your home, ask them to keep their smoking materials with them so young children do not touch them.

dot

Test your smoke alarms, and let guests know what your fire escape plan is.
