Cold weather and the holiday season mean a greater fire risk at your home or business. Due to several factors, the number of insurance claims due to fire always increases this time of year.
Heat sources like space heaters, furnaces, fireplaces, and woodstoves can lead to fire, mainly when they are improperly used or maintained.
December, January, and February are considered peaks for property fires.
HOLIDAY DECORATIONS
Candles, Christmas trees, and holiday lights may also lead to a fire. You should carefully look over holiday lights when installing, and be sure to water a Christmas tree often while it is in your home.
