Those of you who know me are aware that my avocation is that of a Firefighter on a volunteer basis, the job I have held for the past 35 years.

Wishing everyone a very happy and safe Holiday Season. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Kwanzaa, and a Happy New Year.

Please be safe as you celebrate with friends and family. I want to see all of you next year!

'Tis the Season for Fire Safety, Too'
Newsbrief - Monmouth County
WRITTEN
BY MC PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICE

MonmouthCounty fire
marshal has timely reminders for all

FREEHOLD, NJ – The
unfortunate fire that destroyed a family's home in Little Silver recently is a
reminder that everyone should be careful with candles, holiday lights and
Christmas trees, according to Monmouth County Fire Marshal Henry Stryker III.
"By keeping in mind some
fire safety basics, residents can greatly reduce their chances of becoming a
holiday fire statistic," Stryker said. "The top two things to remember are to
exercise care and caution if you are using candles and make sure that you keep
your Christmas tree watered."
Stryker recommends that
residents follow the holiday safety recommendations put forth by the U.S. Fire
Administration (USFA).
Recommendations for safe candle use are:
* use flameless candles
* if you are using traditional candles, make sure they are in stable holders and place them on a stable, level surface where they cannot be easily knocked over or down
* do not leave candles unattended and never leave the house with candles burning, and
* Never put lit candles on a tree and never go near a Christmas tree with an open flame – candles, lighters or matches.
Some Christmas tree recommendations are:
* keep the tree watered by keeping the tree stand filled with water at all times
* When selecting a tree, be sure the needles are green and hard to pull back from the branches. The trunk should be sticky to the touch. Old trees can be identified by bouncing the tree trunk on the ground. If many needles fall off, the tree has been cut too long, has probably dried out, and is a fire hazard
* if you are using a metallic or artificial Christmas tree, make sure it is flame retardant;
* Do not place your tree close to a heat source, including a fireplace or heat vent. The heat will dry out the tree, causing it to be more easily ignited by heat, flame or sparks.
* Be careful not to drop or flick cigarette ashes near a tree. Do not put your live tree up too early or leave it up for longer than two weeks;
* never put tree branches or needles in a fireplace or wood burning stove, and
* When the tree becomes dry, discard it promptly. The best way to dispose of your tree is by taking it to a recycling center or having it hauled away by a community pick-up service.
The USFA estimates that
more than 33 million American homes have natural Christmas trees. A burning
tree can rapidly fill a room with fire and deadly gases.
To take
care of your holiday lights and decorations:
* Inspect holiday lights each year for frayed wires, bare spots, gaps in the insulation, broken or cracked sockets, and excessive kinking or wear before putting them up. Use only lighting listed by an approved testing laboratory;
* do not overload electrical outlets
* Do not link more than three light strands, unless the directions indicate it is safe to do so; Connect strings of lights to an extension cord before plugging the cord into the outlet. Make sure to periodically check the wires – they should not be warm to the touch;
* do not leave holiday lights on unattended
* Use only nonflammable decorations. All decorations should be nonflammable or flame-retardant and placed away from heat vents, and
* Never put wrapping paper in a fireplace. It can result in a very large fire, throwing off dangerous sparks and embers and may result in a chimney fire.

According to the USFA,
residential fires occurring during the holiday season cause more than $990
million in damage, claim the lives of more than 400 people and injure another
1,650 people.
"Far too
often we hear about families who are displaced, injured or killed during the
holidays because of fire," Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Curley said.
"These are tragedies that can be avoided by following these important tips. I
wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season."
Finally, as in every
season, have working smoke alarms installed on every level of your home, test
them monthly and keep them clean and equipped with fresh batteries at all
times. Know when and how to call for help. And remember to practice your home
escape plan.
"Water your tree!" Stryker stressed.
"Typically, shorts in electrical lights or open flames from candles, lighters
or matches start tree fires. Well-watered trees are not a problem; dry and
neglected trees can be."
