Festive gatherings with friends and family are highlights of the holiday season, but they also present increased fire risks that can put you, your loved ones, and your home in danger. An average of 835 home fires are caused by decorations, equaling more than $11 million in home fire damages each year. Decorate your home and celebrate safely by following the safety tips included on our website and social media posts.

  • If you are entertaining guests, use a kitchen timer to remind you that the stove or oven is on.
  • Water your tree daily and remove it promptly after the holidays.
  • Unplug decorations and lights before leaving the house or going to bed.
  • Test your smoke alarms and tell guests about your home escape plan.
  • Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from all heat sources.

 

 

 

 

節日期間與親朋好友歡聚一堂是節日最美好的時刻,但隨之而來的火災風險也不容忽視。根據最新數據顯示,每年平均有 835 起家庭火災 是由節日裝飾引起的,造成的家庭財產損失超過 1100 萬美元。為確保節日安全,專家提醒公眾在裝飾和慶祝時注意以下重要安全提示:

  1. 使用廚房計時器:在為客人準備美食時,切勿忘記爐灶或烤箱打開的情況,可使用廚房計時器進行提醒,避免火災隱患。
  2. 每天給聖誕樹澆水:如果使用真樹,需每日澆水保持樹木濕潤,並在節日後及時移除樹木,以減少火災風險。
  3. 拔掉裝飾燈插頭:離開家或睡前務必記得拔掉所有節日裝飾燈和電器插頭,防止電線過熱引發火災。
  4. 測試煙霧警報器:在節日聚會前測試家庭煙霧警報器是否正常,並向客人解說家庭逃生計畫,增強安全意識。
  5. 保持安全距離:將任何可燃物品(如禮物包裝、窗簾等)放置在距離所有熱源至少三英尺的地方。
