Holiday Fire Safety and Enforcing a Smoke Detector Agreement

The holiday season festivities bring an increased excitement about adorning homes with traditional decorations, but as beautiful as they are, holiday decorations are an added fire hazard. Holiday decoration fires are most likely to happen in the living room, and almost half of all home decoration fires are started by candles, mostly because the decorations were placed too close to a heat source. In just seconds, a dry Christmas tree can become fully engulfed in flames.
