SERVPRO of Cass & St. Joseph Counties wishes you Happy Holidays. The holidays are a wonderful time to gather with family and friends. The season is often spent decorating your home, wrapping presents, and warming up by the fire. While these activities are wonderful, there are many potential hazards. When you are getting ready for the holidays, here’s a few things to keep in mind.
- Don’t place wrapped presents near the fireplace as they are highly flammable.
- Do not discard garbage in your fireplace.
- Do not dispose of your Christmas tree by burning it in the fireplace.
- Hang your stockings away from your fireplace.
- Candles may be a great source of holiday spirit, but keep them away from kids and pets.
- Keep your Christmas tree away from heat sources, such as fireplaces or heaters.
SERVPRO of Cass & St. Joseph Counties urges you to take holiday hazards seriously. A heat source too close to the Christmas tree is the cause of 1 in every 6 fires.
