Holiday Fire Safety Tips by Firefighter Kelly
The holidays are special time of year but each year due to accidents more than 400 people die in holiday related fires. Holiday accidents cause over 90 million dollars in damages yearly and around 1400 people are injured due to holiday fires. Play it safe so your Christmas tree lights doesn’t catch fire. Things like overloaded wall sockets & power-strips, holiday candles, holiday wrapping paper going into the fire place, non fire-resistant Christmas trees, etc. can cause accidents and deaths.
Here are tips by a firefighter to prevent holiday disasters and have a happy, safe time for your family and loved ones.

Another option for candles is electric candles that are battery powered and have no flames. I have those for my kitchen.

Generally, I put my christmas tree next to my fireplace (which is 2 feet from my leaky oil tank) and I use an airsol can and a lighter to start the napalm candles on my tree.
While my fire alarm hasnt worked for years, I put blackpowder around the base of the tree, so in the case of a fire.. I’ll hear the explosion.

I do have one important Safety Tip. Make sure the extension cords and power-bars, being used for Christmas are Canadian/American Safety Approved,and not some “knock off” from a independent Discount Store. as the copper inside the cords may be a low grade cooper and can start to melt or, cause a short circuit, & smolder, toxic fumes.
Merry Christmas one and All!

What did you say? I can’t concentrate, too cute.
I keep a powder fire extinguisher, fire escape hoods and fire blanket in every room and within reach.
Fire alarms are useful.
No, I never had a fire in my house except where I intended.

The dose is very low.

Do Not Use candles. Period! I work for a company called Scentsy. They are wickless flameless candles with superior wax scents. These are like having regular candles only better. Safe and the scents are incredible. You can find them everywhere in the US, Canada, Porto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands maybe other places soon. But they are only available from Scentsy Consultants. You will never find the real thing in a store. Only cheap useless fakes in other places.

So wiring a Christmas tree is like wiring a house.
Do you recommend the First Alert Fire Alarm Model: SA303? I tested each in my garage by using a metal bucket with lit paper inside the bucket and holding each above the bucket about 7′ off the ground. They each sounded when the smoke got up to it. They also go off when the stove is on. You want to center them on each ceiling or like a foot away from a wall, right? Thanks, good video.
