Decorate Safely For The Holidays

By now the Christmas and holiday decorations have been hung with care. But you need to be sure that they have also been placed safely around your home. 
 
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency says that Christmas lights can pose a problem. Patti Thompson with IEMA says don’t overload outlets and make sure the lights you are buying are good quality and come inspected. 
 
 
Thompson says keep the tree good and watered to cut the risk of fire. And watch candles left out carefully. During the holiday season 12 percent of candles cause a fire in the home.
