Fire hazard during the Advent season: don't let anything burn!

Christmas is the season of lights: the risk of fire is particularly high at this time of year. Real fir trees and candles are an obvious source of danger. These are among the most frequent arsonists in Swiss households - a small spark can quickly start a major fire.
Safety tips for the Christmas season

As a general rule, children and pets must be kept away from burning candles and must be supervised. In the event that something does happen, a fire extinguisher or bucket of water should also be available near the Christmas tree.

We only notice the smell of fire very late in our sleep, and this can quickly prove fatal. A smoke alarm also wakes you from a deep sleep with its very loud beep if a smouldering Christmas candle or fairy lights ignite a fire.
In the video you can see how quickly a fire can start. It's good to have a fire extinguisher to hand.
