5 Holiday Safety Tips You Should Know

December 11, 2019 by Erik

’Tis the season to be jolly! The holidays are here, and you’re probably filling up your calendar with parties, travel, and other gatherings with the ones you love. This special time of year is perfect for spending quality time with friends and family, cooking delicious meals, and giving meaningful gifts.

But among all the festivities, it’s important to keep a few important safety tips in mind. Check out the following holiday safety tips that will help to keep you and your family safe this season.

1. Keep Your Tree Hydrated

Dry Christmas trees can be a serious fire hazard. If you pick up a live tree from the Christmas tree lot, make sure you keep it hydrated and water it every day. This will reduce the chance of dry needles catching on fire.

2. Unplug Lights When You’re Not Home

Christmas lights make any home cozy and festive, but it’s important to unplug the lights when you’re not around. These lights can be a fire hazard and will also run up your energy bill if they’re plugged in for extended periods of time.

3. Don’t Leave the House While Cooking

With all of the holiday parties going on, you may be spending more time in the kitchen. Remember to keep an eye on whatever you’ve got cooking in the oven or on the stovetop. Unattended cooking equipment can be another serious fire hazard.

4. Use Battery-Operated Candles

Candles are a great way to set the mood in the chilly season but opt for battery-operated candles instead of real ones. This will reduce the risk of any flames catching fire to something in your home.

5. Schedule Package Deliveries

Thieves are on the lookout for unattended packages during the holiday season. So if you’re ordering presents online, be sure to schedule the delivery for a time when you’ll be home.
