Holiday Fire Safety Tips
Happy Holidays! While this is a great time to spend with family and friends, it is also a busy time for fire fighters with an increased amount of fire calls. The top causes of holiday fires are cooking, decor, dry trees and candles. For a safe holiday season, follow the tips below:
- When cooking, always stay in the kitchen if the stove top is in use.
- Read instructions thoroughly about how to defrost and fry a turkey.
- If decorations are worn with broken cords, please replace.
- Keep children & pets away from lit candles.
- Check all smoke alarms!
- Keep your tree watered. Dry trees engulf in flames immediately. A properly watered tree has a hard time catching and keeping on fire.
Boulder Blimp wishes you a safe and happy holiday season! Also, a huge shout out to our first responders for all they do – we thank you!!
The pictures above show the portions of our inflatable fire education house that emphasize on the importance of proper candle/fireplace & kitchen fire safety. Kids also learn about working smoke alarms and EDITH protocol (exit drills inside the home)
