Fire Safety Tips:
Have your furnace and fireplace checked to ensure proper operation. Make any repairs before the cold weather sets in. Also remember to keep stored items at least 3 feet from all heat producing appliances.
If you have a natural Christmas tree make sure you keep it watered. The needles should not fall off when you brush your fingers along the branches.
Use great care in the use of holiday lighting. Do not overload your home's electrical system.
