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 who listened to the 7 and 8:30 news this morning, you’ll already know Tip #6 is all about Extension Cords!
Getting wound up in the holiday spirit? Don’t “overextend” your outlets! Extension cords are a temporary solution and if more outlets are required, have them installed by a licensed electrician. Fire and electric shock are not on anyone’s list this season – avoid overloading a circuit and never run extension cords under a rug.
Tip #7 will be shared on Friday, 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.
