Safe Christmas: tips for a fire -free festival from the expert!

In the contemplative time of Christmas preparations, there are important security advice from Jan-Eric Loy, the district's fire protection teacher in Northeim. Special caution should apply, especially when using candles: "Real candles are basically not a problem as long as they don't remain unattended," explains Loy. In order to avoid fires, attention should be paid to a fire -proof surface, and the right extinguishing agent is also important. Loy recommends keeping at least one foam fire extinguisher ready for an emergency, since powder extinguishers can often cause more damage. These information is particularly relevant because the number of fires increases during the holidays.

In addition, Loy warns Loy of the risk of fire through overloaded socket strips, which are often used during the celebration: "They must not be extended by further socket strips," he emphasizes. These precautions are crucial, because holiday activities such as decorating the Christmas tree with real candles can quickly lead to dangerous situations if not properly handled. "We wish contemplative holidays - in an emergency, our colleagues can be reached at any time under emergency call 112," Loy continues, who is concerned about the security of all festive actors.
