Fire safety tips urge detectors for holiday decorations
Labour and Manpower Minister Ken MacMaster urged Manitoba households to take fire prevention steps during Christmas. He highlighted smoke detectors as vital for early warning and saving lives from home fires caused by decorations and wrapping. He cited the booklet Early Fire Detection and noted most fatal fires involve smoke and gases from synthetic materials. He advised nonflammable trims, CSA certified lights, clear areas around trees, no smoking near trees, and reviewing family escape plans.
