Fire Safety this Holiday Season

SERVPRO of Cecil County hopes that everyone has a wonderful holiday season!  We want your holidays to be safe and free of fire hazards.  Below, the American Red Cross offers some helpful tips on how to keep your family, friends and business safe from fire damage.

• Christmas trees, candles and other decorations should be kept at least three feet away from fireplaces, heaters and heat vents.
• Only use lights that are in good condition.  Frayed electrical cords can cause a risk of fire damage.  Do not leave the tree or lights on if no one is present for an extended period of time.
• Do not use lit candles to decorate a tree.  Candles that are used in your home or business should be extinguished before leaving the premises.
• Use sturdy tree stands that will not pose the risk of falling over.
• Do not leave cooking unattended.  Keep materials that can catch fire away from the stove, including towels and pot holders.
