The fall season is the start of family gatherings, festive decorations, and delicious meals — but it also brings unique fire and life safety hazards that can turn celebrations into emergencies. With a little preparation, you can keep the season safe and joyful. Halloween will be here before you know it. Watch this video with your children as a reminder to follow important safety tips while trick-or-treating.
When decorating for the upcoming holiday season:
- Use battery-operated candles. They give the same glow without the flame.
- Keep decorations and Christmas trees away from flames and heat sources.
- When buying an artificial tree, be sure it specifies that it is fire resistant.
- When buying a real tree, check its freshness. Needles on fresh trees are green and hard to pull from the branches. The trunk should be sticky to the touch.
