Overall, fire accidents are higher than average during the holiday season because of faulty decorations, candles, cooking, and other traditions associated with the festivity. While staying safe is a top priority, it\u2019s also worth remembering that unexpected accidents can increase expenses, adding to your overall <a href=\"https:\/\/storzco.com\/blog\/2022\/10\/19\/buying-a-mobile-home-in-california-things-to-keep-in-mind\/\">mobile home cost<\/a>. By following the safety tips and tricks explained below, you and your family can avoid risks and keep your holiday season stress-free.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cooking safety tips\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every year, cooking causes about 173,000 homefires in the US. To reiterate, cooking-related fires spike on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year\u2019s Eve. Thus, you must follow these safety tips to avoid property damage and injury during the festive season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While cooking, never leave the stove or fryer unattended. If you need to go out of the kitchen (for instance, someone rings your doorbell), bring a ladle or cooking spoon that will serve as your reminder that you are cooking.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fry with care. More than half of kitchen-related fires are caused by oil and grease, so ensure your deep fryer is well-maintained, the surrounding area is clean, the fryer is filled properly (not overflowing), and you have a fire extinguisher nearby.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Childproof your kitchen. Put stools and chairs away from the stove; keep knives and other sharp objects out of reach, and keep people out of the kitchen unless they\u2019re helping with the cooking.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invest in a meat thermometer. It\u2019s a bit tricky to cook a large animal like a whole turkey because you need to cook it thoroughly to make it safe to eat. That being said, you need to have a thermometer to avoid undercooked food.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Christmas decorations safety tips\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your wiring. Fix or throw away lights and other Christmas decorations with frayed wires and other visible wear and tear. Remember, electrical problems are one of the leading causes of Christmas tree fires.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep trees away from heat sources. Keep them at least 3 feet away from any heat source like a wood stove, fireplace, or portable heater.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get rid of your Christmas tree. Since dry trees are flammable, throw them away by mid-January. Statistics show that 26% of Christmas tree fires occur between February and November since many people let these linger in their property months after the holiday season.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>General home safety tips\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All mobile homes should have a smoke alarm, which is an affordable tool that could mean the difference between life and death. During a fire, smoke and toxic gases spread faster than heat; that\u2019s why most fire victims die from smoke inhalation and not from the heat itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/storzco.com\/\">Storz Management Company<\/a>, we emphasize safety for residents in every community we manage. Whether you live in an <a href=\"https:\/\/storzco.com\/communities\/all-age-mobile-home-park\/\">All Age Mobile Home Park<\/a> or a 55+ community, following safety precautions can help protect your family and your property.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read our tips below to keep your mobile home safe this coming holiday season.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the \u201cright\u201d lights. Never use indoor lights outside and always follow the manufacturer\u2019s recommendations to avoid injury and accident.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy flame-resistant decorations. Choose products with a label that says \u201cfire-retardant\u201d or \u201cfire-resistant.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use clips to secure Christmas lights. This technique prevents damage to the cords, which may cause spark fires.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid fireworks. Most city ordinances prohibit the use of fireworks in residential areas because of the risk of fire and injury. But in case you really want to use them, follow these safety tips: Don\u2019t touch fireworks that didn\u2019t ignite; use them in an open area and away from homes; and don\u2019t let pets roam around during New Year\u2019s Eve and Christmas.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Final Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The holidays are a special time of the year when you spend more time with family and friends, so make sure to follow our safety tips to avoid fire and cooking-related accidents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy holidays from everyone at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/storzco.com\/blog\/contact-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storz Management Company<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!
