The California Fire Foundation Monday encouraged everyone to celebrate the holiday season safely by observing a few vital fire safety tips.

Those include:

    Never leave cooking food unattended, especially when frying, boiling or broiling Keep potentially flammable kitchen items like dish towels and paper products stored away from stove tops and hot surfaces. Familiarize yourself with kitchen appliances and make sure they are in good working condition. Choose fresh Christmas trees and keep them well watered to make it less likely for them to dry out and catch fire. Use energy-efficient LED lights that produce less heat and reduce fire risk. Inspect Christmas lights and ornaments for any damage and replace any frayed cords or broken bulbs. Ensure lights used for outdoor decorations are designed to withstand the elements. Avoid overloading circuits. Follow manufacturer guidelines. Keep electrical cords clear of pathways and away from flammable materials. Make sure your yard is free from dry leaves, branches and other combustible materials. Create a defensible space by maintaining a fire-resistant zone around your home by trimming shrubs and trees. Monitor local fire conditions and regulations especially during dry spells.

    The disaster relief nonprofit provides immediate support to residents and firefighters impacted by wildfires and other natural disasters.
