Holiday Decorating 

• Be careful with holiday decorations. Choose decorations that are flame-resistant or flame-retardant. 

• Keep lit candles away from decorations and other things that can burn 
• Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both 
• Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Read the manufacturer’s instructions for the number of light strands to connect. 
• Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do not get damaged 
• Keep decorations away from windows and doors 

Holiday Entertaining 

• Test your smoke alarms and tell guests about your home fire escape plan 
• Keep children and pets away from lit candles 
• Keep matches and lighters up high in a locked cabinet 

• Stay in the kitchen when cooking on the stovetop 
• Ask smokers to smoke outside. Remind smokers to keep their smoking materials with them so young children do not touch them. 
• Provide large, deep ashtrays for smokers. Wet cigarette butts with water before discarding them.
