Don't let cooking fires linger for long! If they get out of control, you can always contact our team for help!

While the holidays can be a time of great joy and cheer, it’s also a time when people let their guard down. Fire accidents are very preventable around this time period! We’ll showcase the biggest hazards to watch out for below - and how to stop them!

Candle Fires

In general, you should never leave an open fire unattended, and this is especially the case with candle fires. Getting them knocked over could lead to a big fire that spreads rapidly!

Cooking Fires

When you’re cooking, you should be on high alert to what’s in front of you. Leaving your cooking unattended runs the risk of burning your food - and the immediate area around it! Cooking fires can be tough, especially where grease and gas are involved! The best way to prevent the spread is to keep watch.

Space Heaters

Space heaters are useful for fending off the winter cold, but when they’re placed too close to a flammable object, a fire can quickly break out. Before you turn on your space heater, check the area to ensure there are no fire hazards nearby. The more cautious you are, the better!
