Holiday Safety Tips:
Half of home fire deaths occur between the hours of 11:00PM and 7:00 AM and are caused by faulty holiday wiring, overloading of outlets and leaving cooking equipment unattended. Candles start almost half of home decoration fires.
***Inspect electrical decorations for damage before use.
***Do not overload electrical outlets
***Never connect more than three strings of Incandescent lights
***Keep tree fresh by watering daily
***Use battery operated candles
***Keep combustibles at least three feet from heat sources
***Protect cord from damage
***Check decorations for certification label
***Stay in the kitchen when something is cooking.
***Turn off, unplug and extinguish all decorations when going to sleep or leaving the house.
Devonshire Staff and Management wish all of our residents the gifts of the season.
Peace, Joy, Hope, Laughter And Cheer
