Stringing Holiday Lights
Lighting displays are one of the many things that help make
the holiday season a special time of year. Often awe-inspiring,
holiday lighting displays present a perfect opportunity for com-
munities and individuals to showcase their festive sides.
Safety should always be a priority when stringing holiday
lights both inside and outside a home. The National Fire Pro-
tection Association notes that, between 2009 and 2014, fire de-
partments in the United States responded to an average of 210
home fires that started with Christmas trees per year. Lighting

· Choose a fresh tree. The NFPA recommends celebrants
who prefer natural Christmas trees choose ones with fresh,
green needles that do not fall off when touched. Dry trees are
more likely to catch fire than freshly cut trees. Adding water to
the tree stand each day will keep trees fresher longer. When

those going on trees inside a home and those being strung out-
side, should be inspected prior to being strung. Look for any
worn or broken cords and replace any defected lights.
· Employ the buddy system. When stringing lights, always
work with at least one other person. This makes it safe for
homeowners who must climb ladders to string lights on espe-
cially tall trees and/or on their home exteriors.
· Avoid working in inclement weather. The weather during the
holiday season can sometimes be unpleasant or unpredictable.
