12 Days of Holiday Safety Tips, Day 12 Overpacked Outlets Safety

12/12/2020 (Permalink)

Remember to be fire cautious this holiday season!

Another fire hazard for this winter season is overpacked outlets. Having an outlet overpacked with wires operating the christmas lights, the radiator, the television, and other electronics is bound to lead to fire damage in your home. We at SERVPRO of El Dorado Hills/Placerville, want to prevent fire damage this winter season. 

We understand that decorative lights give homes and neighbors a festive glow during the long winter nights, but just remember to be cautious to not overcrowd outlets. Electrical malfunctions are the cause of half of residential fires. Always follow the manufacturer’s directions and replace any strings that are broken or worn out or have loose bulb connections. And most importantly, remember to unplug the lights before you go to bed or leave your home.
