A Few Safety Tips for the Holiday Season

Holiday Safety Tips
The holiday season can be one of the most wonderful times of year, but it can also be one of the most dangerous.  From candles to pine needles the number of fire hazards often increase exponentially during this season.  The number one way to protect yourself against the dangers of fire is to be educated and use the necessary prevention tips.



Kitchen Safety Tips

Remember when you are cooking the feast...

  • Grease and fat fires are a leading cause of home fires in Canada, so be extra careful when doing this kind of cooking. 
  • If grease in a pot or pan catches fire:
     
    • Smother the flames by covering the pan with a lid.
    • Turn off the heat immediately.
    • Use baking soda (flour can be explosive) on shallow grease fires.
    • Never turn on the overhead fan, as this could spread the fire.
    • Never throw water on a grease fire.
Tree
Remember when you trim the tree...
  • Get a freshly cut tree. It will stay green longer and be less of a fire hazard. 
  • Try to pick a tree with a strong green colour and noticeable fragrance.
  • Place the tree in a stand that will hold 2 to 3 litres of water and top it up daily.
  • Do not set your tree up near a heat source such as a radiator, television, fireplace, heating duct or sunny window. It should not block doors.
  • Remove the tree within 10 to 14 days. 
Candles
Remember When Lighting Candles....
  • Place candles away from absolutely anything that could catch fire.
  • Never leave burning candles unattended.
  • Burn them only when a responsible adult is overseeing the flame.
  • Put candles in sturdy holders on a stable surface, well away from drafts, curtains, children and pets.
  • Snuff them out before leaving the room or going to sleep.
  • Consider using battery operated candle replacements.
     
Fireplace
Remember When Lighting the Fireplace...
  • Never burn gift wrappings, boxes, cartons, or other types of packing in the fireplace. They burn too rapidly and generate far too much heat.
  • Don't hang Christmas stockings from the mantel when the fireplace is in use.
  • Always use a screen in front of the fireplace to protect against flying sparks.
  • Don't use Christmas trees for firewood.
Holiday Lights
Remember When Plugging In Your Lights...
  • There is often a tendency to overload wall outlets during the holiday season. This is an unsafe practice and should be avoided even for short durations.
  • Insert plugs fully into outlets. Poor contact may cause overheating or shock.
  • To avoid possible overheating, do not coil or bunch an extension cord which is in use and do not run it under carpets or rugs.
  • Turn off all tree and display lights before retiring for the night or before leaving the house.
Fire Extinguisher
Remember Nothing Says You Care Like...
  • Home smoke alarm
  • Carbon monoxide detector
  • Multi-purpose (ABC) fire extinguisher
  • Candle snuffer
Last but not least ... make sure your smoke detectors work. By law, one working smoke alarm is required on every level of your home.
