Guard Against Fires

Right now we're experiencing the Christmas season, right?  Right.  What's common during this season?  Family time, presents, decorations, shopping, all of that stuff?  Yes.  Well, what's also a bit more common during the season?  House fires!  Why?  Because people forget to unplug their Christmas trees when they go to sleep or leave the house. 

Just this morning, there was a house fire near my house.  I was at church when all of the fire engines were going by.  And it's quite possible that the fire was a result of a Christmas tree that had been left unattended.  That doesn't necessarily mean it was, but it could've been.  If you are one of those people who leave their Christmas tree plugged in all the time, you may be getting a house fire for Christmas!  So it's very important to be mindful of your Christmas lights during the Christmas season.  There can be severe consequences if they are neglected.  So take my advice: unplug your Christmas tree when you leave your home and at night.  It can save your home, and potentially you!
