SAFETY TIP: As we head into the holiday season, make sure indoor and outdoor lights are in good condition before plugging them in. Look for cracked cords, loose bulbs or frayed wiring that could spark a fire. Always unplug decorations before going to bed or leaving home and avoid running extension cords under rugs or through doorways where they can overheat or become damaged. If you’re using space heaters to stay warm, keep them at least three feet away from anything that can burn and plug them directly into a wall outlet, not a power strip. A few simple steps can keep your celebrations bright, safe and worry-free all winter long.

Supporting Our Community With Warmth This Winter

El Paso Electric is proud to support our community’s most vulnerable residents by donating $5,000 worth of blankets to the Extreme Weather Task Force. As winter temperatures drop, this effort helps ensure that families and individuals facing harsh conditions have access to essential warmth.

Community members in El Paso County who need information about receiving a blanket can call 2-1-1 for assistance.

This donation reflects our continued commitment to strengthening community resilience and partnering with organizations that prioritize the well-being of our region. By joining the Extreme Weather Task Force and local partners, we can help keep our community safe during colder months and make a meaningful difference for those who may not have the resources to stay warm.
