'Tis the season to deck the halls with boughs of holly. But be aware — all that holiday cooking and decorating has the potential to cause serious hazards in your home.
Knowing the risks — and how to help avoid injury, theft and damage to property through the holiday season — can help save you from expensive homeowners’ insurance claims.

Did you know…
  • Overloaded extension cords or lighting equipment was responsible for starting almost half (40%) of home Christmas tree fires in 2011-2015;
  • Poorly placed and unattended candles accounted for 1/3 of all home decoration fires and started 8% of home Christmas tree structure fires; and
  • Heating equipment was involved in 15% of the Christmas tree fires*

Check out these three tips to keep your holiday merry and bright!
Practice safe holiday decorating and have a Happy New Year!
