There is definitely an increased risk of fire during the holidays. Extra decorations strewn about the house, dry Christmas trees, extra heat for the cold weather, etc. In fact there are about 47,000 household fires during the holdays each year (according to the US Fire Administration).
Since we’ve been talking about the comforts of home and making everyday living a little easier with our At Home for the Holidays series, I definitely wanted to talk about this! As parents it is one of our very top priorities to keep our children safe! Fire is a very real possibility, and it is something that I take seriously. So I was thrilled to learn about the new Be Fire Smart program and website put out by Liberty Mutual.
At www.BeFireSmart.com you will have access to information on preventing fires, creating a fire escape plan, how to talk about fire safety with children and much more. There’s even games and activities for you to print out to help children learn even more …. hands on (so to speak).
The site is easy to navigate and offers sections for Parents, Educators and Children. I pray that you will all be safe this holiday season and I highly recommend checking out this great resource!
