‘Tis The Season To Be Fire Safe!
Prevent these leading causes of fire during the holidays.
Cooking is the leading cause of fires during the holidays. Always stay in the kitchen while cooking.
Heating equipment is the second leading cause of fires during the holidays. Heating systems and chimneys should be inspected and cleaned annually by a qualified service technician.
Smoking is the leading cause of fatal fires during the holidays. Butt-out cigarettes in large, deep ashtrays.
Alcohol is a factor in approximately 1 in 5 fatal fires during the holidays. Drink responsibly during the holiday season.
Fire moves faster than you! Install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms in your home. Test them monthly.
Practice a home fire escape plan so everyone in your home knows what to do when the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms sound in an emergency.
