Holiday Time

11/1/2018 (Permalink)

With the holidays coming up there also comes an increased risk of house fires. At this time of year people are doing more cooking for their family and friends and not only that but we are also starting to put up decorations such as lights and Christmas trees.

The following are some statistics about fires this time of year. According to the United States Fire Administration, from 2004-2008, an average of 260 home fires each year started with Christmas trees. Another 150 home fires per year were caused by decorative and holiday lights. Home fires involving cooking peak on dates that are major U.S. holidays with traditions of cooking, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Christmas Eve.
