A Holiday Safety Message from the Burns Fire Department
As the holiday season arrives, the Burns Fire Department would like to remind our community to stay safe while celebrating. This time of year brings joy, togetherness, and tradition—but also an increase in preventable fires and accidents.
Please keep these safety tips in mind:
• Check your lights for damaged cords or overloaded outlets.
• Water live Christmas trees regularly to prevent them from drying out.
• Keep candles away from flammable decorations and never leave them unattended.
• Stay alert in the kitchen, especially when cooking for gatherings.
• Practice heating safety by keeping space heaters at least three feet from anything that can burn.
• Drive carefully, especially in winter weather or during busy travel days.
We are grateful for our community and wish each of you a happy, healthy, and safe holiday season.
