How To Design Wristbands For Fire Safety Awareness?

Wristbands for Fire Safety Awareness

An alarming number of home fires occur during the holidays. The main causes are cooking related fires, fires from unattended candles, and Christmas tree fires. The National Fire Protection Association started “Project Holiday” to help raise awareness of fire safety during the holiday season. Fire Safety bracelets can help keep this important topic top of mind.

When most people think about the holidays, family festivities and good cheer likely come to mind. What few of us consider is that the holidays also present an increased risk of home fires. By taking some preventative steps and following simple rules of thumb, most home fires can be prevented during the holidays and beyond.

Fire Safety Tips

• Unattended cooking is the leading cause of U.S. home fires and home fire injuries, with most cooking fires involving the stovetop.
• Stay in the kitchen while you’re frying, grilling or broiling food. Keep anything that can catch fire away from the stovetop, and turn it off when you leave the kitchen, even if it’s for a short period of time.
• Candles are widely used in homes throughout the holidays; December is the peak month for home candle fires.
• More than half of all candle fires start because the candles had been too close to things that could catch fire.
• When burning candles, keep them at least 12” away from anything that can burn, and remember to blow them out when you leave the room or go to bed.
• U.S. fire departments annually respond to an average of 230 structure fires caused by Christmas trees. One of every three are caused by electrical problems, and one in five resulted from a heat source that’s too close to the tree.
• If you have an artificial tree, be sure it’s labeled, certified or identified by the manufacturer as fire-retardant.
• If you choose a fresh tree, make sure the green needles don’t fall off when touched; before placing it in the stand, cut 1-2” from the base of the trunk. Add water to the tree stand, and be sure to water it daily.
• Use lights that have the label of a recognized testing laboratory, and make sure you know whether they are designed for indoor or outdoor use. Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords, or loose bulb connections. Connect no more than three strands of mini-string sets and a maximum of 50 bulbs for screw-in bulbs.
• Never use lit candles to decorate the tree.
• Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving the home or going to bed.
