DALLAS, TX, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The holiday season is a time of celebration, family gatherings, and festive decorations. However, it is also one of the most dangerous times of the year for home fires. Hydra-Shield, Inc., a Dallas, Texas-based leader in protective equipment for fire hydrants, is urging families to prioritize fire safety this holiday season and is proud to support firefighters with the industry's best hydrant protection solutions.

The Increased Risk of Home Fires During the Holidays
According to national fire safety organizations, the winter holidays see a significant rise in home fires. Christmas trees, decorative lights, candles, and increased cooking all contribute to this heightened risk. Electrical malfunctions, unattended stoves, and overloaded outlets are among the biggest dangers that can quickly turn a joyous celebration into a tragedy.

Common Holiday Fire Hazards
• Cooking Accidents: With more baking and entertaining, kitchen fires spike in November and December. Never leave cooking food unattended and keep flammable items away from the stove.
• Candles: Candles are a beautiful addition to holiday décor but should be placed away from anything flammable and always extinguished before leaving a room.
• Christmas Trees: Live trees can dry out and become highly flammable. Water your tree daily and keep it away from heat sources.
• Electrical Decorations: Inspect lights and extension cords for damage, avoid overloading outlets, and turn off decorations when sleeping or leaving home.
• Fireplaces: Make sure chimneys are clean and never burn wrapping paper or flammable materials in the fireplace.
Fire Prevention Tips for the Holidays
• Test smoke alarms and replace batteries if needed before festivities begin.
• Establish and practice a family fire escape plan, ensuring all members know at least two ways out of every room.
• Keep a fire extinguisher accessible in the kitchen and near the Christmas tree or fireplace.
• Store matches and lighters out of reach of children.
• Never use extension cords under rugs or furniture where they can overheat.

What to Do in a Fire Emergency at Home
1. Evacuate the home immediately—do not attempt to retrieve valuables.
2. Stay low to the ground to avoid smoke inhalation.
3. Once outside, call 911 and never re-enter a burning building.
4. Meet at a predetermined safe location and account for all family members.
