Statistics have shown that the holidays are more prone to fire damage. You want to focus on your family and the festivities. We completely understand the sentiment. As such, we’ve gathered a few fire safety tips and tricks for Morristown homeowners to help ease much of the concern.

Seasonal Fire Safety

If you have any safety concerns or questions this holiday season, you can contact the Morristown Fire Bureau at 973-292-6605.


“By knowing where potential fire hazards exist and taking the needed steps to prevent them, people can enjoy the season’s celebrations and traditions while keeping their families, guests and homes safe.” These wise words come from Lorraine Carli, vice president of NFPA’s Outreach and Advocacy division.


So, how do holiday house fires start?


Fireplaces — Without a fire screen in place, you risk burning embers and logs escaping.

Cooking — Cooking is the number one cause of holiday fires.

Candles — It’s easy to light a scented candle or menorah and forget about it. Do not forget to extinguish a candle before leaving the room.

What is the Top Holiday Fire Prevention Tip for Your Community?

If you plan on hanging stockings over the fireplace, remember not to light the fireplace. A single spark or loose ember could very quickly ignite one of the stockings and cause widespread fire damage.
