HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
While you're home for the holidays, consider this: More home fires
happen between December 24 and January 6 than any other time of the year.
According to the National Fire Protection Association, traditional
decorations and rituals can present some unique fire hazards in the
home. The NFPA says that, when combined, the "Four C's" -
Christmas trees, candles, chimneys and children - can be a serious fire
risk.
