With Christmas just around the corner I'd like to remind you about your electric decorations and extension cords. Here's a few simple things to keep you safe throughout the holidays. 1. Check your extension cords by hand to see if there are any crack's, broken insulation and that the plug end of the cord has three prongs. The bottom Round prong being a ground is very important to your safety. Now that you have checked them also take a look at your light wires making sure they together and not broken or having any bare wires.
Tip number 1. A couple times a day you should check The connections and see if they feel hot. It's simple to do. Just hold it in your hand for a few seconds and if you feel like it is hotter than it should be you should get a heavier extension cord.
Number 2
Make sure that you turn off and unplug all electrical decorations before you get into bed. I know what you're thinking... Why should I unplug it if I turn it off? Well that's because you have a current running through the cords and wire's. If it overheats you could have a electrical fire which is why I say turn it off and unplug it.
Number three..
If it's at all possible don't use an extension cord for anything during the holidays. It may mean that your tree isn't right where you want it but you will have a Christmas morning together and memories to look back on.
Last but not least keep your tree fully hydrated and don't let it dry out.
So there's a couple of things that will keep you safe and sound that will only take a few minutes to do each day.
