The St. Thomas Fire Department and 94.1 myFM are teaming up once again this year to share the 12 Days of Holiday Fire & CO Safety Tips.
As the festive season approaches, our local fire department wants emphasized the importance of preventing common yet avoidable accidents around the holidays, while giving our listeners the chance to win a fun prize package in the process.
For those listening to the 7 and 8:30 news this morning, you’ll already know Tip #2 which focuses on Candles and Decorations!
Is that candle too close to the decoration sitting on your table? Fires caused by holiday decorations and open flames from candles are all too common this season. Battery-powered candles are a great alternative but if you must light up, keep candles away from pets and children, put the candle in a sturdy container and always blow out when you leave the room.
Tip #3 will be shared on Monday, and if you hear it- head over to StThomasToday.ca and submit the tip under the WIN tab for the chance at a 12 Days of Holiday Fire & CO Safety Tips prize package.
