At Readyr, we believe in celebrating the holiday season with joy and safety in mind. As we deck the halls and embrace the festive spirit, it’s crucial to be mindful of potential fire hazards that come with Christmas decorations. From twinkling fairy lights to the warmth of candles, let’s explore how to enjoy the magic of Christmas while keeping safety at the forefront.
Before adorning your home with fairy lights, inspect them for any signs of damage or wear.
Opt for LED lights, which emit less heat, reducing the risk of fire.
If you have a real Christmas tree, keep it well-hydrated to prevent it from drying out.
Position the tree away from heat sources, such as radiators or fireplaces.
Use flameless LED candles to capture the ambience without the fire risk.
If you prefer real candles, never leave them unattended, and keep them away from flammable materials.
Ensure that your live Christmas tree’s water reservoir is consistently filled.
A well-hydrated tree is less likely to catch fire, ensuring a safer holiday environment
Familiarise your family with the fire escape plan, especially if you’re hosting guests.
Designate a meeting point outside and ensure everyone knows how to exit the home safely.
Keep a fire extinguisher in easily accessible areas of your home, especially in the kitchen and near the Christmas tree.
Install smoke detectors and test them regularly to ensure they’re in working order.
The holiday season often involves elaborate meals. Never leave the kitchen unattended while cooking, and keep flammable items away from the stove.
If a grease fire occurs, never use water. Instead, cover the flames with a lid and turn off the heat.
In case of an electrical fire, disconnect the power source if it’s safe to do so.
Use a fire extinguisher designated for electrical fires and avoid using water.
As we immerse ourselves in the festive cheer, let’s make safety a part of our holiday traditions. By taking simple precautions and educating ourselves ahead of time, we can ensure a Christmas filled with warmth, joy, and the peace of mind that comes with a secure and happy home. Stay safe, and have a wonderful and fire-safe Christmas!
