Holiday Decorating Safety Tips

As you decorate your home for the season, Highland Beach Fire Rescue reminds all residents to use extra care with trees, lights, candles, and electrical decorations.

Holiday Safety Tips:
• Never leave candles burning unattended — consider LED flameless candles instead.
• Inspect all lights for frayed wires or broken bulbs before plugging them in.
• Avoid overloading outlets or power strips.
• Keep Christmas trees well-watered to prevent rapid ignition.
• Turn off all lights and decorations before leaving home or going to bed.

Let’s keep the holidays safe and joyful for every Highland Beach household!
