J&A has partnered with the Georgia Arson Control Program to provide our clients with the following very important Holiday Fire-Safety information
* When purchasing a tree, check for freshness; a fresh tree will not lose as many needles as one that is dry. A dry tree is highly flammable.
* The tree stand should be designed to hold plenty of water and should be checked daily.
* Do not place the tree or natural garland near a fireplace, television, furnace vents, or other heat sources.
* For lights, check annually for frayed or damaged cords. On Christmas trees use small lights that stay cool to the touch or LED lights which also save energy.
* For outside decorations, use only outdoor lights. Never use indoor lights outside.
* Don't overload electrical outlets with multiple plug adaptors.
* Make sure candles are a safe distance from the tree, curtains, and other flammable objects.
Wishing you and your family a very happy and safe holiday season!
