Fire beside christmas tree

We all love the holidays for so many reasons, but the main one has to be the excuse in having a big ol’ tree smack-dab in the middle of your living room! With the dazzling lights and priceless family ornaments that adorn it, a Christmas tree alone has the capacity to cheer even the most stubborn of all scrooges. However, while having such a spectacular display in the comfort of your own home can be magical, it can just as well pose a great fire hazard. So, here are some tips on maintaining a fire-free environment during the holidays!

-Test and update your smoke detectors yearly.
-Inspect holiday lights (especially old ones) and throw away any with frayed or pinched wires.
-If you have a real tree, make sure to keep it watered regularly.
-Always douse any fires in your fireplace before retiring for the evening.
