Faulty lights – Always check your holiday lights for any frayed or damaged spots before you plug them in and hang them over your tree. Faulty holiday lights could potentially cause a fire.
- Collapsing roof – The roof tends to take more wear and tear during the winter, especially when it snows. Have your roof inspected before the winter season and keep an eye out for signs of roof damage, such as sagging ceilings or water spots.
- Kitchen fires – There’s a good chance you’ll be in the kitchen cooking up a storm if you’re having guests over for a holiday meal. Always keep an eye on your stove and make sure you don’t leave anything flammable nearby. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby just in case!
