Holiday Safety
The Holidays are upon us and many will
re-arrange their homes furnishings to decorate for the holidays.
Be sure you have working smoke detectors in your home, and if
you want to take an extra step towards fire safety, look into a
heat detector ornament for your holiday decorations. They
sound an alarm early if your tree should catch fire.
Home Heating Safety
As the mercury drops in our thermometers and cold weather
envelopes our homes, please use caution with supplemental
heating appliances. Never use an un-vented kerosene heater
inside your home. The fumes are deadly, and CO poisoning
is a leading cause of deaths during Winter months each year.

Candles - The
use of candles has increased as the scents continue to draw our
attention to relaxing aromas. Be sure you use candles
safely in your home.
