Holiday Fire Prevention Tips

Holiday Fire Prevention Tips - Port Aransas and North Padre Island Homes for Sale

Whether you’re bringing in your whole family for the holidays or you’ll be traveling to others’ homes across the country, fire safety is incredibly important during the holidays.

We consulted with a few experts, and here’s what they said.

Fire Safety When You’re Not Home

Nearly half of all electrical fires in the home are from:

  • Faulty electrical outlets
  • Outdated appliances
  • Light bulbs that exceed the recommended wattage
  • Damaged or misused extension cords
  • Dirty space heaters (or those that are poorly positioned)
  • Outdated wiring

When you’re gone, unplug everything. Don’t leave your Christmas lights plugged in, and if you can, unplug major appliances, as well.

Fire Safety When You Have Guests

According to Medline Plus, there are a few steps you can take while you’re home and when you have guests to help prevent fires, too:

  • Don’t leave the stove or oven unattended when they are on
  • Don’t let children use kitchen appliances unsupervised
  • Don’t smoke in bed
  • Make sure your electrical appliances and cords are in good condition

The American Red Cross has a great Fire Prevention and Safety Checklist you can use to help teach your kids about fire safety, too.
