Overloaded Plugins Can Spark a Fire!

Tis the Holidays and up goes all the wonderful lights of the joyous season. This is the time of year when we have multiple types of fires. Electrical and heat source fires are our most common. With electrical we find folks plugging space heaters into power sources that are not strong enough, so they get hot, smolder and catch fire. Lights on Christmas trees are another source of fires, trees that are not water routinely can become dry and the lights can get hot and cause a fire. Outside power cord that are not protect from weather elements can also spark and create a fire. Power surge protectors can help prevent a fire. Open fireplaces without proper roll protection are too another fire hazard. 

With all the excitement of the holidays it is often easy to forget and overlook the simple items that could be so potentially hazardous. Take the extra time needed to ensure as is safe this holiday season!
