With the holiday season upon us, please watch the video below from Fire Commissioner Robert S. Tucker. Remember that more than one-third of home fires occur during the months of December, January, and February. The holiday season brings a higher risk of fire, with the use of candles, Christmas lights, and holiday decorations. Remember to be #FDNYSmart this season.
-Keep candles away from anything flammable and never leave them unattended.
-Always turn off holiday lights before going to bed or leaving the house.
-Always use lights that are in good condition.
-If you have a real Christmas tree, water it regularly to reduce the risk of it drying out.
