Have a safe and happy holiday season.

SERVPRO of Anniston, Gadsden and Marshall County has tips to help you prevent fires in your home or business this holiday season.

- Make sure to water your Christmas tree daily to prevent it from drying out.

-Turn off Christmas lights when you leave your home or go the bed for the night.

-Inspect Christmas lights and the wires before putting them up and replace any that have frayed or damaged areas.

-NEVER leave a lit candle unattended. 

-When using candles, make sure they are on a firm flat surface away from curtains and other flammable materials. This prevents them from tipping over. 

-Keep candle flames away from children and pets, they can burn themselves or accidentally knock the candle over. 

-Make sure deep fried turkeys are properly thawed before frying. 

-Have the fireplace flue cleaned yearly.
