Holiday Fire Prevention

Here are some instructions from the US Fire Administration regarding safety during the holiday season when many people have extra candles burning, extension cords in use, and a cut tree in the house. Let's all commit right now to do what's necessary to keep ourselves and our families safe. Please don't cut corners thinking "this couldn't happen to me." A house burned 1/2 block away from us several nights ago, causing $100,000 worth of damage. Fortunately there were no fatalities, but the loss is devastating.

Please follow each precaution carefully. And don't forget to forward the information to friends and family -- for safety's sake. Thanks to FlyLady.net for the heads up.
