Are your decorations a fire hazard?
There’s nothing like decorating for the holidays!
But how safe is it?
Selective Insurance Group says 97% of people who decorate inside their homes for the holidays do so with at least one fire hazard…so basically everyone! 😳
And 76% use multiple fire hazards!
- 47% of people say they use candles
- 31% admit to using two or more extension cords plugged together
- 28% use tinsel, which can be VERY flammable
Also two-thirds who use indoor holiday lights like on a Christmas tree keep them on even when no one is home.
Oh, and there’s this…only 17% of people who put up a real tree water it every day!
Be safe…and be sure to check those smoke detectors, too…JIC!
