Holiday Fire Safety in Nassau County/North Jax

12/3/2018 (Permalink)

Be fire smart this holiday season. We at SERVPRO of Fernandina Beach/Yulee wish you and your family Happy Holidays!

Nearly half of holiday decoration fires happen because decorations are placed too close to a heat source. It’s fun to decorate for the winter holidays, but holiday decorations can increase your risk for a home fire. As you deck the halls this season, be fire smart. Here are tips to help you stay safe from fire.

• Inspect holiday lights each year before you put them up. Throw away light strands with frayed or pinched wires.
• Water your Christmas tree every day. A dry tree is dangerous because it can catch on fire easily.
• Consider using battery-operated flameless candles, which can look, smell and feel like real candles.
• If you do use lit candles, make sure they are in stable holders and place them where they cannot be knocked down easily.

If you do experience fire damage at your home, call SERVPRO of Fernandina Beach/Yulee at (904) 729-2401. We’re available 24/7 to help you get your home back to normal.
