If you are decorating with lights and other electrical items this year, NSW Fire + Rescue urge you to put safety measures in place to ensure Christmas is tragedy free.
“Inspect the plugs and leads of used decorative lights to ensure they are in good working order. If in doubt, replace the lights,” a spokesperson said.
“Decorative lights may become very hot so keep away from children and flammable materials such as wrapping paper, decorations or curtains and don't leave burning candles unattended.”
