The 1st death caused by an #ecig explosion was reported on 2/5/19. Studies have shown the number of e-cig explosions & fires are increasing. @ULdialogue tests e-cigs for safety so look for the UL label on the packaging & be sure to use only the charger provided with the device.

A few more #HolidayFireSafety tips for you before the weekend! Don't overload your outlets. Turn out your holiday lights before going to bed/leaving the house. Keep watering your tree. Check smoke alarms, practice your fire escape plan with holiday guests & #CloseBeforeYouDoze!

Baking for the holidays this weekend? Cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Move things that can burn away from the stove. This includes dishtowels, bags, boxes, paper & curtains. Keep children & pets at least 3 feet away from a hot stove. #holidaybaking #WinterFireSafety

Every bedroom needs a working smoking alarm! Half of home fire deaths happen between 11 p.m. & 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. #peaceofmind #FireIsEveryonesFight
