12/28/2004: "Home Holiday Fire Safety"

The holiday season is a time of fun, family and cheer. Unfortunately, it's also a time when we see an increase in home fires.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Christmas trees were the item first ignited in an average of 310 home structure fires per year from 1999-2002. The NFPA estimates that "In 2002, there were 241 Christmas tree fires in U.S. homes, resulting in 23 deaths, 12 injuries and $11.4 million in direct property damage." And the danger doesn’t stop with Christmas trees. Because candles are often a part of holiday rituals, December is also a time when we see a 15% increase in candle fires.

With Christmas a few days behind us, remember to continue watering those "real" Christmas trees and to remove them from your home if they become too dry. Also, do not leave lit candles unattended. Extinguish candles when going to bed or leaving the house. If candles need to be lit all night, make sure to keep them away from curtains, table cloths, and other flammable materials. It’s also a good time to check your smoke detectors to make sure they are in working order.
