Christmas is here and many of us have already decorated our houses with trees full of lights, where gifts will be waiting to be opened on Dec. 25 morning.
Theres definitely nothing wrong with lights and that cozy feeling you get from them, whats wrong is the danger these beautiful glowing things represent if theyre not set up well, as well as other electronic devices used during this season.
Thats why the firemen team of Rosarito Beach released a series of advices to prevent accidents inside your house. Here they are:
–Check all the electronic installations
–Avoid connecting several artifacts or tree lights in one outlet
–Disconnect the devices youre not using
–Dont put the Christmas Tree near flammable objects
–Have ducts suitable for the expulsion of gas by grills or gas heaters
These recommendations were made for Héctor Castelán, Director of the Fire Department, emphasizing that the most common incidents at this time are fires caused by electrical overload and carbon monoxide poisoning.
