CANDLES & DECORATIONS. ls that candle too close to the decoration sitting on your table? Fires caused by holiday decorations and open flames from candles are all too common this season. Battery-powered candles are a great alternative but if you must light up, keep candles away from pets and children, put the candle in a sturdy container, and always blow out when you leave the room. |

EXTENSION CORDS. Getting wound up in the holiday spirit? Don’t ‘overextend” your outlets! Extension cords are a temporary solution and if more outlets are required, have them installed by a licensed electrician. Fire and electric shock are not on anyone’s list this season – avoid overloading a circuit and never run extension cords under a rug. |
