Holiday Fire Safety Tips

Decorating for the holidays can be a lot of fun, but remember these fire safety tips Gresham!

• Inspect your holiday lights every year before you put them up.
• Throw away any light strands that have frayed or pinched wires.
• A dry tree can catch on fire more easily. Water your Christmas tree every day 
• Use battery-operated flameless candles, that look, smell and feel like real candles. 
• Make sure any lit candles are in stable holders and place them where they cannot be knocked down easily
• Don't overload electrical outlets
• Stockings are hung with care at least 3 ft above a heat source
• Turn off decorations when leaving the house, or going to bed
• Never leave cooking food unattended
• Have your chimney inspected to see if it needs cleaning
• Put a screen on your fireplace to avoid any embers falling onto the carpet or floor
