In the small town of Yountville, Napa County Firefighters from Station 12 responded to a call on Sunday morning, which extinguished an inflatable holiday decoration fire at a private residence. According to a KRON4 report, the fire department has taken this opportunity to remind the public about the potential dangers holiday decorations can pose.
As Cal Fire emphasizes, residents are cautioned against overloading electrical sockets and coupling more lights together than the manufacturers recommend. Moreover, people must ensure that their light cords are not frayed or broken.
The incident on Washington Street did not result in any reported injuries or significant property damage. A social media post from CAL FIRE LNU corroborated the incident, stating, "Sunday morning, crews from Napa County Fire Station 12 extinguished a small fire of an inflatable holiday decoration on the exterior of a residence on Washington Street in Yountville."
