Many people have their Christmas lights up, and Prescott Fire Department officials have some tips to ensure you use those lights safely. They recommend replacing light strings that have broken bulbs or worn wires. Make sure you know which light strands are designed for indoor use and which are for outdoor use. When hanging lights, secure them with clips instead of nails to avoid damaging the wires.
Also, be sure to turn off your lights before leaving home or going to bed.
