The Holiday Guide to Fire Prevention

 

 

As we gather with family and friends this holiday season, the warmth of the season should come from joyous moments shared, not from home fires! At FireAvert, we are well aware of the risks associated with cooking appliances, and we want to share our knowledge to help protect your home during this festive season.

 

Kitchen Caution

For many, the holidays are synonymous with delicious feasts cooked right in our kitchens. However, the kitchen can pose a significant fire hazard. Here are some quick tips to ensure your home-cooked meals are warm but not on fire:

 

 

Keep a close eye on all cooking appliances, and set timers to remind you of ongoing tasks. Unattended ovens and stovetops are potential fire risks, so always double-check before leaving the kitchen.

 

Additionally, it's important to ensure that flammable items like kitchen towels, pot holders, and curtains are kept away from the cooking area.

 

More Safety Hazards to Be Aware of

 

Candles

The holiday season often involves creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere with candles. While these add charm to your home, they also introduce an element of risk. Keep candles away from flammable materials, place them in sturdy holders, and never leave them burning in unoccupied rooms.

 

Electrical Awareness

The increased use of electrical appliances and decorations during the holiday season can overload circuits and increase the risk of electrical fires. Avoid overloading outlets, inspect wiring for damage, and unplug decorative lights before leaving home or going to bed.

 

Conclusion

This season, consider these crucial safety tips when gathering with your loved ones. By staying vigilant and implementing these precautions, you can ensure an exciting and worry-free end to the year.
