The holiday season is upon us! Turkey, Christmas lights, and shopping are all holiday traditions that bring great joy. Here are some tips to keep you safe and enjoy the holiday season.
Turkey Safety
Fried turkey can be very tasty but pose a potential hazard. The hot oil can spill causing a fire or skin burns. To avoid accidents, don’t overfill the fryer and always thaw the turkey prior to cooking.
Christmas Light Safety
Candles and Christmas lights are a fire hazard, especially near a Christmas tree. Christmas trees can become dry and extremely flammable. It is important to keep candles in a safe place away from children and decorations. Check holiday lights for any frayed cords and keep tress well watered to prevent drying. Always remember to turn off lights when you go to bed or leave home.
Shopping Safety
Higher cases of theft happen around the holiday shopping season. To prevent theft try to shop during the day, or shop with a friend or family member at night. Never leave shopping bags or purses visible in your vehicle. When shopping always be aware of your surroundings and never leave your purse or wallet unattended. Always report any suspicious activity.
Additional Tips
Keep your travel plans off social media
If you are traveling out of town notify a trusted neighbor who can keep an eye out
Secure all valuables
Leave a television on so it looks like someone is home
Ask a neighbor or friend to pick up your mail if you will be gone for a long period of time
Consider shipping your packages to work office or amazon locker to avoid thieves
We hope you have a happy and safe holiday season. For more safety tips, visit your local police department website.
