Fire prevention makes ideal Christmas gift Paul Minden OMI Agency It's the most dangerous time of the year, or at least one of them, when it comes to house tires. The lights, candles, Christmas trees, extra cooking in the kitchen and lots of distractions help to make that so, says Tom Marshall, education officer with Sar- nia Fire Rescue Services. The city has been relatively lucky and avoided serious holiday fires in recent years, he said. "We've had the odd Christmas tree (fire) over the years" 'There are also usually a few caused by candles. "A lot of times, it's something in the oven," Marshall added. "People get distracted. 'That's usually when things happen." That's why the service is urging local residents to follow the 12 Days of I loliday Fire Safety this year. Day one — Water real Christmas trees daily so they don't dry out and become a fire hazard. Also, don't place them near a heating vent. Day two -- (:heck holiday lights to make sure they're in good condition before hanging them and turning them on. I)ay three — Make sure there are work- ing smoke alarms on every storey of the home. It's the law. "And, get in the habit of testing them," Marshall said. "You walk under theta everyday" Day four — Install a working carbon monoxide alarm. Day five — Set up all escape plan and make sure everyone in the family knows it. 1loliday visitors should also know the plats, and the location of the sleeting place where everyone should gather once they're out of the house, Marshall said. "So, when we come up and ask, 'Is every- body out?' You're going to be able to say, 'Yes:" Day six --- use extension cords safely tend wisely. I)ay seven - Keep space heaters at least a metre away from anything flamma- ble, like curtains, upholstery and holiday decorations. Day eight Blow out candles before leaving the room. I)ay nine Keep matches and lighters where kids can't see them or rt'ach them. Day 10 — Pay attention to what's cook- ing on the stove or in the oven.
