Every year during the holiday season, many homeowners experience devastation when their home catches on fire.
While this can happen to anyone at any time, there are some tips you can follow to prevent this type of trouble:

• Inspect your fireplace. Before you use your fireplace this winter, make sure it’s inspected by a professional. If there’s anything wrong, take care of the problem before you start your first fire of the year.
• Watch what you’re doing with candles. For example, you should never leave a candle burning when you aren’t in the room. Also, don’t burn candles near a tree or any other flammable item.
• Be careful with the turkey fryer. Using a turkey fryer can be great fun. It’s also one of the best ways to prepare a tasty meal. Unfortunately, if you make a serious mistake, such as setting up the fryer too close to your home, it could result in a fire.
• As you can see, there are many things that can lead to a fire during the holiday season (as well as other times of the year). By taking the right steps toward prevention, you won’t have to concern yourself with this potential home disaster.
