How to Have a Safe and Fire Damage-Free Christmas Celebration in Bemidji?

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Beltrami County.

Our local teams in Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing wish everyone in Bemidji Happy Holidays! Christmas is a season filled with joy, celebration, and warmth, but it’s important to prioritize fire safety to keep your holiday safe. Many families have holiday parties, but some party decorations can cause fire damage.

Begin by selecting decorations that are labeled as flame-resistant or flame-retardant, particularly for items like garlands, wreaths, and Christmas trees. Taking these precautions will help ensure a fire-free celebration.

If you opt for a real tree, make sure it is kept from drying out by watering it regularly. Consider using flameless, battery-operated candles to create a festive atmosphere without the fire risk. If you prefer real candles, keep them well away from anything flammable, like curtains and decorations, and never leave them unattended.

For those stringing up holiday lights, inspect all cords and bulbs for damage before use. Use lights designed for indoor or outdoor purposes as appropriate and avoid overloading electrical outlets. Always turn off the lights when you go to bed or leave the house.

Finally, watch the kitchen during holiday meal preparations, as unattended cooking is a leading cause of house fires. Following these precautions, you can enjoy a safe, fire-free Christmas celebration with your loved ones.
