HOLIDAY DECORATING TIPS

Be careful with holiday decorations. Choose

decorations that are flame resistant or flame retardant.

  1. Keep lit candles away from decorations and other

things that can burn.

  1. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use, but

not both.

  1. Replace any string of lights with worn or

broken cords or loose bulb connections. Read

manufacturer’s instructions for number of light

strands to connect.

  1. Use clips, not nails, to hang lights so the cords do

not get damaged.

  1. Keep decorations away from windows and doors.
