Policyholders are Decking Their Halls With Hazards

Selective Insurance recently commissioned a survey conducted by The Harris Poll to find the commonly overlooked fire risks in the household during the holiday season. 

According to the survey results.., "85% of U.S. residents decorate for the holidays inside their homes. Nearly all of those holiday decorators (97%) use at least one fire hazard - - artificial Christmas trees, real Christmas trees, string lights, battery-/electric-operated candles, real flame-burning candles, two or more extension cords connected together, and tinsel -- when decorating inside their homes."

Allen Anderson, Senior Vice President of Selective Insurance, believes that U.S. residents need to better understand and practice smart fire safety precautions to help ensure a happy, healthy and safe holiday season.
