Holiday Decorations
Tips
The Halloween goblins, the Thanksgiving
turkeys and the Christmas Grinch are all
offering up their holiday decorating tips
and hoping that you’ll follow them. They
hope to steal your holidays by having you
overload circuits, light lots of candles
wrapped in crepe paper and ribbons, cover
your walls with straw, pine, and paper, and
put up Christmas greenery and trees that are
dead and dry.
So how do we prevent
these rascals from ruining our holidays? By
following the holiday
decorating safety tips (requirements)
available on the
University of Houston’s Fire Marshal’s (FMO)
Website at
http://www.uh.edu/fire/holiday_decorating.html. The FMO website not only
provides a number of tips for safe holiday
decorating but also provides an inexpensive
formula for rendering materials fire
resistant.
