As families settle in and children wait for Santa to arrive tonight, take a few moments to check your smoke alarms. The holidays bring extra cooking, candles, and decorations, which can increase the risk of fire. Working smoke alarms provide early warning and save lives. A quick check before bed can help ensure your Christmas Eve stays safe and joyful for everyone.
