Barry & Monique Blais Provide Sound 
Tips On Fire Safety On 
Behalf of Reliable Security

  


On behalf of Reliable Security, Barry Blais, owner; his wife, Monique, Office Manager; and their loyal companion, 'Buster'  want to wish all of our readers a very happy, and safe holiday. In order to remind everyone about the need to remain cautious at all times during this festive season, they would like to provide you with the following Holiday Fire Safety Tips.

They would also like to point out that to many adults, the following rules will seem pretty basic and common sense approaches. However, many young children are not always aware of these rules, nor do they fully realize the consequences of carelessness. Finally, if you make sure that your children fully understand how important it is to follow these simple rules, they will make sure that you don't accidentally forget during this busy holiday season. They will remind YOU if you happen to get careless.

WITH  RESPECT  TO TREE  LIGHTS

Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. Damaged insulation in lighting on a metallic tree could cause the entire tree to be charged with electricity.



   WITH  RESPECT TO CANDLES
bulletNever use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens.
 
bulletKeep away from other decorations or wrapping paper.
 
bulletPlace candles where they cannot be knocked down or blown over.

WITH  RESPECT  
TO  TREES

 

bulletBuy a tree whose needles haven't dried out.
  
bulletPlace the tree away from any heat source such as a space heater or fireplace.
