Home & Fire Safety: A Foundation for Festivity
Your home is the heart of holiday celebrations, but it also contains some of the biggest risks. Decorations, cooking, and heating systems all require extra attention during this time of year. Following these safety measures can significantly reduce the chances of a fire or accident.

Branch Insurance Group understands the holiday season brings joy, family gatherings, and festive decorations. Amid the excitement, it’s easy to overlook potential risks that can lead to common insurance claims. By taking a few preventative steps, you can make sure your holiday is a safe one. Here are a few
tips.

Inspect Your Decorations
Before you deck the halls, take a moment to inspect all your decorations, especially the electrical ones. Holiday lights can become damaged in storage.

Check Your Lights: Look for frayed wires, cracked sockets, or loose connections before plugging anything in. Damaged lights are a serious fire hazard and should be discarded.

Avoid Electrical Overloads: Overloading outlets is a common mistake. As a rule, don’t connect more than three strands of incandescent lights together. Use extension cords rated for the power your decorations will draw and avoid running them under rugs or furniture.

Health Isn’t the Problem. Being Heard Is.

Some people say that Black people don’t care about their health. That’s just not true. Additionally, this untruth misrepresents our communities and shifts blame away from the systems that continue to fail us. As a Black doctor and public health professional, I know we care a lot about our families, our future, and living a good life.

But caring isn’t the problem. The real problems are harder to see. They have to do with unfair systems, a lack of access to care, and a long history of not being treated right in the healthcare system.
