The City of Litchfield Park provides guidance for maintaining safety during the holiday season. Decorations such as candles and lights can present fire hazards if not used properly. One recommendation is to use LED candles instead of traditional ones, which can help minimize the risk of fire, particularly in homes with children or pets.
When setting up holiday lights, it’s important to take precautions with cords. Cords across walkways can create tripping hazards, so they should be secured out of areas where people walk. Lights can also become hot, so they should be kept away from fabrics or other materials that could catch fire. These steps can help maintain a safe holiday environment.
If using a real tree for the holidays, it’s important to keep it well-watered. A dry tree can be highly flammable, increasing the risk of fire. The City of Litchfield Park recommends checking and watering the tree daily to help prevent fire hazards.
