Frayed Wires Cause Fires
More than one-third of all home fires occur between December and February, and most of those are caused by worn, damaged, or improperly used electrical cords. Carefully inspect new and used holiday lights for cracked or frayed wires. Do not use broken bulbs on Christmas trees.
This blog and its author are in no (formal) way connected with the New York City Office of Emergency Management. The content has been pasted from the OEM "Tip of the Week" that can be subscribed to via the page http://www.nyc.gov/oemnews.
(This blog was created as an easy way for me to generate an RSS feed with the history of the tips, since I didn't see that anywhere on NYC.gov.)
September 2009 to June 2012, then occasionally: Also included FEMA "Tip of the Week" messages as they came through. I am not connected to FEMA or DHS in any way, either.
