Firefighters help you keep safe during Christmas - with poetry!

• Don't overdo it with the firewood - clean your chimney at least thrice a year
• Use fireworks responsibly
• Use electrical decorations only in appropriate conditions - put candles at least a meter away from the fir tree, so that "your mood doesn't go up in flames"
• Don't leave lit candles unattended!
• Don't forget your children during the holidays - not like in Home Alone but rather don't let them play with fire
• Give someone a smoke detector as a Christmas present - "One for your bedroom, one for your girlfriend", concludes the piece.

The poem by the fireworks tip reads like this:

What's there going off and popping?
Firecrackers are what's popping,
Let's use fireworks sanely,
Let's not act insanely.

However if these poetic tips don't quite do it, call 112.
