December 6 ,
2010:
December marks the beginning of the
holiday season, which includes Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New
Year's Eve. The winter holidays and all
of the wonderful activities that we associate with them - like
decorating, cooking, parties, and warm seats by the fireplace - can
also lead to holiday tragedy when not properly monitored. Make sure
that you and your family know
how to celebrate fire-safe holidays
so tragedy doesn't occur. Read the USFA Holiday Safety Guide.
The Eastampton
Fire-Rescue Department reminds all residents to be vigilant about
fire safety while celebrating the holidays. We wish each of you a
safe, meaningful holiday season and a healthy and prosperous new
year.
