Taking some practical precautions around the home can help keep your clients (and you!) safe during the holidays. Here are our top tips for the season:

1. Use non-flammable decorations both indoors and outdoors.
2. Check holiday lights for damaged wires and plugs. Enjoy indoor lights only while someone is at home and shut them off before turning in for the night.
3. Keep live Christmas trees in a water-filled stand and check the water level daily. Dried-out trees are extremely dangerous and should be discarded immediately.
4. Never allow children to access or use matches, lighters or candles.
5. Keep space heaters away from bedding, curtains, paper—anything flammable. Never leave a space heater unattended while in use.
6. Busy with holiday cooking and baking? Kitchen fires are the leading cause of house fires. Keep a multi-purpose fire extinguisher within easy reach and know how to use it.

All of us at Pillar To Post wish you and your clients a happy, healthy and safe holiday season!
