for children. More electrical cords, extension cords in high- traffic areas, electric lights on the tree, burning candles, fires in the fireplace, and pots simmering on the stove become potential hazards for kids.

The U.S. Fire Administration reports that twice as many kids die or are injured by fires during the holidays than at any other time of the year.


Before you get too busy, sit your kids down and talk about holiday safety.


Some cautions: •


Electrical accidents involving children are far more likely to happen when no adult is supervising the kids.


• Keep children away from cords and decorations to prevent shocks. Avoid decorating the bottom limbs of the tree, where children can easily reach.


or all the merriment, the holidays bring increased safety risks, particularly


• Don’t leave children alone with a lighted fireplace, candles or an operating space heater.


• When you leave the kitchen, turn off the stove, even if you’re not finished cooking. Move hot pots to back burners.


• Teach your kids that hot things can burn them. When they’re old enough, teach them how to cook and to use the stove safely.





Choose battery-powered toys instead of electric ones for children younger than 10. Make sure electrical toys bear a safety label from UL or another credible testing agency.





If you bring children to someone else’s home, do a visual sweep for potential hazards, like exposed electrical outlets and cords or lighted candles.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY Tip of the Month


Electric bills rise in the winter for lots of reasons—holiday parties, house guests, and shorter days and longer nights. Take little measures to help control costs like turning down the thermostat, washing clothes in cold water, swapping out lightbulbs for high-efficiency versions, and using microwaves or toaster ovens to cook.
