Christmas is a time for fun and festivities, where people can relax and enjoy being with friends and family. However did you know that you are also more likely to die in a house fire at this time of year than at any other time? Over 10% of all fire deaths occur during December.

 

 

Whilst you’re thinking about how to make Christmas extra special for the kids, spare a thought for their safety and yours. During December we are more vulnerable to fire. We spend more time at home, we’re relaxed and happy and our defences are down. Fairy lights, candles, even enjoying a glass of wine with a cigarette can be potential fire hazards.

 

By taking a few simple precautions you can minimise the risk of fire for you and your family.
