HOLIDAY SAFETY

Week 1: Check gauges on home fire extinguishers to ensure a full charge. Replace if necessary. Clean dishwasher, trash compactor and countertop appliances.
Week 2: A Christmas Tree should not loose green needles when tapped on the ground; cut 1" off trunk to help absorb water; stands should hold 1 gallon water; a 6' tree should use 1 gallon water every 2 days; use only UL-listed lights-no more than three linked together; turn off when out or asleep; NEVER use candles.
Week 3: Review the family fire escape plan with every family member.
Week 4: Don't close vents to crawl spaces. If you live where pipes can freeze and the floor becomes very cold, insulate pipes and under the floor. Vents play an important role in controlling condensation beneath a house.
