Safety Tips for Celebrating Safely During the Holiday Season |
The holiday season is a time to rejoice. During this special time of year, we become distracted and become vulnerable to theft and other holiday crashers.
Follow some of these safety tips:
- Avoid overloading electrical outlets, which can overheat and cause a fire.
- Never leave an open flame unattended.
- Use caution anytime there is a stranger at your door.
- Do not hide spare keys in mailboxes, planters or under doormats.
- Never leave cooking food on the stove unattended.
- Do not advertise expensive gifts by placing exposed empty boxes out for garbage collection. Break down the boxes and place inside bin.

Cooper City Museum Keeps Our History Alive! |
#TBT: As you prepare your holiday cards and photos online, remember how the photo process used to be.
Pre-digital age, photos were taken with cameras that captured images on film. You had to take the film to a film developer, like the one shown, to have prints made from the processed film. You had to wait sometimes a week for those photos.
Share your memorable photographs and stories with us to help us keep our history alive. If you have any questions, please call 954-434-4300 ext. 263 or email community@coopercityfl.org
