Holiday and winter fire safety is important to us here at Team Weir.

Please see the below fire safety tips as published by Pillar To Post Home Inspectors to keep your family safe this holiday season.

• Check holiday light strands for damaged or broken wires and plugs. Enjoy indoor lights only while someone is home and turn them off before going to bed.
• Keep live Christmas trees in a sturdy, water-filled stand and check daily for dehydration. Dried-out trees are dangerous and should be discarded immediately.
• Always use non-flammable decorations both indoors and outdoors.
• Be sure to keep space heaters away from bedding, curtains, paper — anything flammable. Never leave space heaters unattended while in use.
• Children should not have access to or be allowed to use matches, lighters or candles.
• Candles add lovely ambiance to your holiday home. They need to be placed in stable holders and kept away from flammable items, drafts, pets and children or use an LED candle for peace of mind.
• Busy with holiday cooking and baking? Kitchen fires are the leading cause of house fires. Keep an all-purpose fire extinguisher within easy reach and know how to use it.
