Decorate with Fire Safety in Mind

December 13, 2021

This article was provided by Rodger Johnson and the ORO Safety Committee. The content is from the US Fire Administration.

The winter holidays are a time for families and friends to get together. It’s fun to decorate for the winter holidays, but holiday decorations can increase your risk for a home fire. As you deck the halls this season, be fire smart.

Did you know that more than 1 in every 5 Christmas tree fires were caused by a heat source too close to the tree? Make sure your tree is at least 3 feet away from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, and space heaters. Please be sure to read manufacturer’s instructions for the number of light strands to connect.

Following a few simple tips can help make your holidays fire-safe:

  • Water your live Christmas tree every day. A dry tree is a fire hazard. Trees too close to a heat source cause 1 in every 4 winter fires.
  • Make sure you are using the right lights. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but not both.
  • Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections.
  • Choose holiday decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant.
  • Keep lit candles away from decorations and things that can burn. More than 1/3 of home decoration fires are started by candles. Consider using flameless candles, they look very similar and are safer.
  • Blow out lit candles and turn off all light strings and decorations when leaving the room or going to bed.
  • Make sure your decorations don’t block windows and doors.
