Smoking Materials: 

We tend to do more entertaining during the Holiday season, and because of that we should take extra precautions with smoking materials.

Before retiring for the evening, make a thorough check of your home. Check the ashtrays & sofa cushions.

Tree Lights:

Before retiring for the evening check the tree lights and decorations. Ensure all lights are unplugged, and that all extension cords are disconnected.

Cooking:

Many of the fires we respond to start in the kitchen. Approximately 90% of those are caused by cooking.

Never leave anything cooking unattended. The number of kitchen fires that are caused by unattended cooking is rising at an alarming rate.

Don't Drink & Cook: For many years we have heard the great safety message of "Don't Drink & Drive". This Holiday Season, if you are drinking alcohol, be extremely careful if you plan on cooking. If you plan to drink alcohol excessively, Don't Cook. The combination of entertaining and alcohol causes many accidents and the number of fires caused by this combination is rising.

WATCH WHAT YOU HEAT!
