Stay safe this holiday season
Keep your holiday decorations enjoyable and safe with these safety tips.
Candles: Move anything flammable away from a lit candle. Place the candles out of reach of children and pets. Blow out the candles when you need to leave the room or go to bed.
Christmas tree: Water the tree to keep it hydrated. Place the tree away from heat sources, entryways and foot traffic. Hang fragile Christmas ornaments on higher tree branches away from children and pets.
Electric lights: Lights will be labeled for either indoor or outdoor use. Throw out lights with worn or torn wires. Read labels to make sure you are following acceptable wattage levels and are not overloading the circuits.
Outdoor decorations: Fully secure outdoor holiday decorations so they aren’t blown away or stolen. Put all lights and fans on a timer so you don’t forget to turn them off before going to bed. Use waterproof electrical connectors.
Ladders: Ensure ladders are on level and sturdy ground. They must be able to support your weight and the weight of the decorations.
Holiday plants: Be sure to keep toxic plants such as mistletoe, holly or poinsettia away from the reach of your pets.
Cleaning up: After the holidays, check with your city or waste management company to see if they have a tree recycling program. Carefully take down outdoor decorations and inspect them for damage.
