Have A Safe And Jolly Holiday Season! 

The holiday season will be here in no time. While holiday lights and decorations can be pretty, they can be hazardous to your home and your safety. 

• Holiday lights are beautiful and add that special magical holiday touch to your home. Before you begin to hang them up, check each light strand. Older or broken lights can cause a potential electrical fire. 
• When hanging Christmas lights, keep your ladder sturdy to prevent falls. 
• To prevent a tree fire, water your tree frequently. Do not leave the lights on 24/7, and don't use real flame candles on or around your tree. Keep your tree secure by using a solid tree stand. 
• Keep your chimney clean and your tree away from your fireplace. Avoid hanging garland around an open flame or heat source as it can catch fire.

The holidays are a happy time but, if you don't take precautions the holidays could turn hazardous in the blink of an eye. SERVPRO of Pickens County hopes you have a happy and safe holiday season.
