✅ Inspect decorative lights before you put them up—throw away pieces that have frayed, pinched, or exposed wires or broken bulbs.
✅ Some lights are rated for indoor or outdoor use only. Read and follow all of the manufacturer’s warnings.
✅ Use clips to hang string lights, not nails, in order to avoid damaging the wiring.
✅ Choose decorations that are flame resistant or flame-retardant.
✅ Don't overload electrical sockets.
✅ Turn off lights and electronic decorations before going to bed or leaving home.
