Safety tip sheets
Print these reproducible safety tip sheets to distribute at community events.

       

As you deck the halls, be fire smart. A small fire that spreads to a Christmas tree can grow large very quickly.

 

Remember: a candle is an open flame, which means that it can easily ignite anything that can burn.

 

The leading cause of kitchen fires is unattended cooking, so stay alert when cooking this holiday.

The holidays are a time for families and friends to gather. But that also means a greater risk for fire.


Gift tags and Christmas tree tags
Use these colorful tags to brighten your holidays -- and make them more fire-safe! 

   
Give the gift of fire safety with these colorful gift tags (PDF, 744). Duplicate the tags and distribute to residents to use with their gift-giving. Our Christmas tree tags (PDF, 340KB) provide important fire safety information. Make copies of the tags and ask local retailers to distribute with every tree sold.
