Christmas and Holiday Safety

The Rowley Fire Department wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season! Please enjoy these tips on Christmas tree and decorating safety.
  • Inspect all lights before using. Discard or replace any that show signs of wear or damage.
  • Don't overload electrical circuits.
  • Keep natural Christmas trees properly watered, and keep all decorations away from heat or open flame.
  • Use extra caution with candles. Never allow a candle to burn unattended. Place all candles on firm, non- flammable surfaces away from other combustibles.
  • And remember, SMOKE DETECTORS SAVE LIVES. While you have the ladder out, why not change those batteries?
