Candles, pretty lights and decorations are just a few of the items that add to the charm and cheer of the holiday season-however, if they are not used carefully your holidays may go from festive to frightening very quickly.

National Fire Protection Association Tips:

1) Two our of five home decoration fires are started by candles. Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that burns.

2) Use sturdy candle holders that are not likely to tip over and place candles on clear, uncluttered surfaces. Consider using flameless candles instead of real candles.

3) Make sure your tree decorations are at least three feet away from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, candles or heat vents.
