Tips to Minimize the Chances of a House Fire
Keep Your Tree Hydrated
One of the most common reasons for house fires during the holiday season is that trees get dried out, and then warm lights can ignite a flame. If you decide to get a real tree, always ensure the tree stays hydrated. If the tree is drying out, avoid using the lights on the tree.
Ensure You Do Not Overload Your Electric System
Electrical fires are also common this time of year. You are plugging more things into your electrical system, including holiday lights, inflatables, trees, and other decorations. It is easy to overload your electrical system. Be mindful of what you plug in, and if you are setting up an extravagant holiday display, contact an electrician to ensure your electrical system can handle the new load.
Blow Candles Out
You may host many holiday parties with friends and family during the holiday season, and you want your home to look and smell its best. As such, you may light some scented candles. Always be sure to blow these candles out at the end of the night.
