Kidde, Chicago Fire Department share tips to ensure safe holidays at home
Share: This year, it is expected that more Chicagoans will be staying at home than ever before. Smaller gatherings, however, don t mean less holiday spirit. In fact, families are amping up their festive efforts, and holiday decorations and cooking will be bigger than ever! This can bring a lot of joy, but it also increases the risk.
Pair this with colder weather and the desire to be warm and festive - with heaters, crackling fireplaces, lights, candles and cooking galore-and it s no surprise that the risk of home fires is high during the holidays.
