Winter Fire Safety Facts and Tips:
The top three days for home fires in the United States are Christmas Day, New Year's Day and Christmas Eve.
December, January, and February are the deadliest months for
fires.
Home candle fires occur at nearly twice the rate in December
as throughout the rest of the year.
Always have a working fire extinguisher
available in or near your kitchen.
Practice fire safety every day!
Have an escape plan and practice fire drills in your home.
Test your smoke detectors each month.
Need a free detector? Call the firehouse at 289-4485.
Never leave any burning candle unattended
or near any combustible materials. Just one candle can destroy your home.
