  • Keep your paper and tinsel away from hot lights.
  • Keep lights away from water.
  • Use only lights labeled for outdoor use when decorating outside.
  • When stringing lights outdoors, keep ladders away from overhead power lines.
  • Unplug lights before you go out or to bed.
  • Ensure that cords are completely insulated to prevent shock or fire.

Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year!
