9 Ways to Prevent a Holiday Decorating Disaster

1. Keep pets and children at least three feet away from burning candles and electrical cords to prevent burns and electrical fires.
2. A dry tree in your home is a fire danger. Think of it as a huge pile of kindling in  your home. Choose a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched.
3. Check the manufacturer’s instructions to find out how many lights can be  connected to prevent electric shock and fire.
4. Keep anything that can burn away from a heat source, despite how awesome it looks. Flameless candles are also a great alternative to real ones when  decorating.
5. An overloaded electrical outlet is a major fire hazard. Plug strings of lights  directly into the wall and keep the number to a minimum.
6. Replace any string of lights that has worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. These can easily start a fire.
7. Always keep water in the tree stand. Check daily and add water as needed. Dried-out trees are a major fire hazard
8. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both.
9. Dried-out trees are a fire danger and should not be left in the home or garage, or placed outside against the home.
