Don't forget to properly dispose of your Christmas tree (hint: it's not by burning it). m.montgomerycountymd.gov/sws…
While attending New Years parties and festivities, always remember to be aware of your surroundings at all times.
Keep escape routes clear of clutter, including that new bike Santa brought! #FireSafeHomeForHolidays
Merry Christmas (and a safe one!) to you and yours!
Our chimneys are clean and ready for the Big Guy! Track along with @NoradSanta at noradsanta.org.
Never burn wrapping paper in the fireplace or wood stove, which can cause chimney fires. #FireSafeHomeForHolidays
Your family may know your fire safety and evacuation plan, but do your guests? Make sure they do. #FireSafeHomeForHolidays
Our firefighters are big fans of battery-operated flameless candles, and you should be, too! #FireSafeHomeForHolidays
Make sure all extension cords and electrical decorations used outdoors are marked for outdoor use. #FireSafeHomeForHolidays
Do not overload electrical sockets by linking more than three strands of lights. #FireSafeHomeForHolidays
