Fire Safety MD

Maryland Fire Safety

Capitol Fire Truck Rentals Fire Safety Maryland



With the Christmas Holiday season approaching here are a few safety tips from Capitol Fire Trucks of Maryland.  Roughly 250 homes catch fire due to Christmas trees each year, reports the National Fire Protection Agency.  Christmas trees, if dried out can be very flammable and pose a great threat if not cared for properly.  When selecting a Christmas tree ensure the color is a bright green, needles are not falling from the tree itself and not brown in color.   It is very easy for kids to accidentally knock over your Christmas tree stand, therefore ensure the tree is securely mounted and anchored properly in the stand.  You must ensure your Christmas tree stand is filled with water and check daily to ensure it does not become dry.  During the Holiday season fires account for roughly 15 million dollars’ worth of damage, Capitol Fire Trucks wants to ensure your holiday is a safe and memorable one for all the right reasons.

The National Fire Protection Agency reports 50,000 thousand fires occur each year during Christmas due to electrical issues.  When decorating your Christmas tree here are a few fire safety tips  
·         Only use indoor lights for indoor and outdoor lights for outdoor
·         Ensure each set of lights has been independently tested and approved
·         Never attach more than 4 sets of lights together
·         Always check each set of lights and electrical cords for cracked bulbs, bare wires and loose connections
·         Lastly do not leave the house with lights illuminated on the Christmas tree
Capitol Fire Trucks of MD does not want to see you be a statistic this year.  Take the necessary steps to ensure you have a safe a wonderful holiday with family and friends.
