Lorraine Carli, vice president of NFPA’s Outreach and Advocacy program , had this to say: “By knowing where potential fire hazards exist and taking the needed steps to prevent them, people can enjoy the season’s celebrations and traditions while keeping their families, guests and homes safe.”
If you have any safety concerns or questions this holiday season, you can contact the Flemington Fire Department at (908) 782-5151.
In the meantime, here are some other helpful tips:
Decorating — Stay safe while decorating your home by avoiding overloading extension cords and frayed wiring.
Holiday Trees — Water your holiday tree and avoid bogging it down with too many lights.
Candles — Keep lit candles three feet from flammable objects and consider investing in electric menorahs or kinaras.
