What Are Good Fire Prevention Tips for Holidays?
Keep the Holidays Bright, Not Burning
The holidays should bring warmth, family, and light, not smoke, panic, or loss. Unfortunately, December is one of the highest-risk months for home fires caused by decorations, cooking, and heating. Every year, Utah families face the aftermath of preventable holiday fires that could have been avoided with a few simple steps.
If you’re a Utah homeowner preparing your home for the holidays, this guide will walk you through practical fire prevention tips to keep your family safe and your celebrations worry-free.

Why Holiday Fire Safety Matters
Every string of lights, candle, or festive meal adds joy to your home, but also potential risk. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), nearly one in five house fires during the holidays begin in the kitchen or are caused by faulty decorations.
Here’s what this really means: most of these fires start with good intentions, such as family meals, cozy fireplaces, or cheerful lights. That’s why prevention isn’t about fear; it’s about awareness.
Fires Spike During the Holidays Because:
- People multitask more while cooking or entertaining
- Electrical circuits get overloaded with decorations
- Dry trees or candles ignite faster than expected
- Space heaters and fireplaces are used more often
When you understand these triggers, you can take simple actions to prevent them without sacrificing your holiday spirit.
Common Causes of Holiday Fires
Let’s break down the most common reasons Utah homeowners face holiday fire risks and how to stop them before they start.
1. Kitchen and Cooking Fires
Cooking is the leading cause of holiday fires. Grease flare-ups, unattended stoves, or oven mishaps can escalate fast.
How to stay safe:
- Never leave cooking food unattended
- Keep kids and pets at least three feet away from cooking areas
- Turn pot handles inward to prevent tipping
- Clean grease buildup regularly
2. Christmas Tree Hazards
A dry tree can ignite in seconds. If you decorate with a live tree, moisture is your best defense.
Keep it safe by:
- Choosing a fresh, green tree and watering it daily
- Keeping the tree at least three feet away from heat sources
- Turning off tree lights before bed or when leaving home
3. Electrical and Lighting Dangers
Overloaded outlets and cheap extension cords are hidden fire starters.
Prevention checklist:
- Use UL-rated lights and cords designed for indoor or outdoor use
- Replace frayed or damaged wires
- Avoid plugging multiple high-wattage items into one outlet
- Unplug decorations when not in use
4. Candle and Fireplace Risks
Open flames create ambiance but need strict supervision.
For safer holidays:
- Use battery-operated candles whenever possible
- Keep candles on stable, heat-resistant surfaces
- Have your chimney inspected and cleaned before winter
- Use a spark guard for fireplaces
Easy Fire Prevention Tips for Every Home
Fire prevention isn’t about complex systems or expensive gear. It’s about consistent habits and awareness. Here’s how to make your home safer during the season.
Daily Fire Safety Habits:
- Test smoke alarms and replace batteries before the holidays
- Keep fire extinguishers on each floor, especially near the kitchen
- Avoid clutter near heaters, outlets, or stoves
- Assign a “safety check” before guests arrive or when leaving home
Smart Decorating Choices:
- Use LED lights since they run cooler and consume less energy
- Avoid tinsel or flammable décor near fireplaces
- Secure cords along walls, not under rugs
- Choose nonflammable or flame-retardant ornaments
When prevention becomes routine, safety becomes second nature.
Holiday Cooking and Electrical Safety
Here’s the thing: most fire calls in December start in the kitchen. With big family gatherings, distractions happen easily.
Cooking Safety Tips:
- Stay in the kitchen while frying, grilling, or broiling.
- Keep a metal lid nearby to smother small grease fires. Never use water.
- Double-check that oven mitts and towels aren’t near burners.
- Set timers, even for short cooking sessions.
Electrical Safety Reminders:
- Use surge protectors with built-in circuit breakers.
- Don’t string more than three light strands together.
- Label breakers clearly so family members can shut off power in an emergency.
Small habits prevent big disasters and give you peace of mind during the holidays.
What to Do If a Fire Starts
Even with every precaution, accidents can happen. The most important thing is to act fast and prioritize safety.
Here’s what to do:
- Get everyone out immediately. Never try to fight a large fire yourself.
- Call 911 as soon as you’re safe.
- If possible, close doors behind you to slow the spread.
- Once it’s extinguished, call professionals to handle cleanup and restoration.
Fire damage often goes beyond what you can see. Hidden smoke, soot, and water damage can continue harming your home long after the flames are gone. That’s where professionals step in.

FAQs About Holiday Fire Safety
How can I keep my Christmas tree from drying out?
A dry Christmas tree can ignite faster than paper. To prevent that, start by choosing a tree with flexible needles that don’t fall off easily. Place it away from heat sources such as fireplaces or heating vents. Water the tree daily. If your stand runs dry, the base can seal with sap and stop absorbing water. Also, consider switching to LED lights, which emit less heat than traditional bulbs, reducing the drying effect. For more decoration safety, review 6 ways to prevent Christmas tree and holiday decoration fires.
Are LED lights safer than traditional bulbs?
Yes, LED lights are significantly safer than traditional incandescent bulbs. They stay cool to the touch, consume less power, and last longer. Traditional lights can overheat after hours of use, posing a fire hazard if they touch curtains, paper, or dry greenery. When using LEDs, ensure the lights are UL-listed for safety and inspect them for damaged cords or plugs before decorating.
How often should I test my smoke alarms?
You should test smoke alarms at least once a month and replace their batteries every six months. If your alarm is over ten years old, replace it entirely. For added safety, install interconnected alarms so that when one sounds, they all do. This ensures you’re alerted no matter where a fire starts. Don’t forget carbon monoxide detectors. They’re essential during the winter when heaters and fireplaces are in use.
What should I do after a small fire in my home?
Even if the flames were minor, the smoke, soot, and water used to extinguish them can cause lasting damage. First, make sure the area is safe to enter and the fire department has cleared it. Avoid touching soot-covered surfaces since it can smear and set deeper into materials. Contact a certified restoration company like Utah Flood Cleanup immediately. Our team can assess structural damage, clean smoke residue, deodorize your home, and restore affected areas to pre-fire condition. Acting quickly helps minimize costs and secondary damage. If you need step-by-step guidance, here’s what to do after a house fire.
Do I need special insurance coverage for fire damage?
Most standard homeowners’ insurance policies cover fire damage, including repair costs, cleanup, and temporary housing. However, coverage details vary. Some policies may exclude certain causes, such as electrical malfunctions or outdoor equipment fires. It’s smart to review your policy before the holidays and confirm what’s included. Utah Flood Cleanup can help you document damage, file claims, and communicate with insurers to ensure you get the support you deserve.
Keep Your Home Safe and Your Holidays Bright
Fires don’t have to be part of your holiday story. With simple precautions such as safe cooking, mindful decorating, and regular maintenance, you can protect your home and the people you love.
If you ever face damage from smoke, fire, or water, Utah Flood Cleanup is your trusted local restoration partner. We respond 24/7 across Northern Utah, providing certified, compassionate service when it matters most.

What Our Customers Say
Came home to a flooded basement on a Sunday night. Called The Flood Company and they were very responsive. Memo and Chris came out within about an hour or so. They inspected the area and got right on extracting what water they could without moving everything out to stabilize the situation. Before they left they explained what would need to happen going forward, answered ally questions, and set up a plan to contact me the next day to make a plan for full restoration pending my contact with the insurance company.

I am extremely pleased with the work and help from Flood Co with the sewer backup into the house. I highly recommend them. Mike, the operations manager, worked with the insurance company, took pictures, and got everything submitted, setup, and scheduled. Memo and Chris F. and crew first came out and did the mitigation, took pictures, and cleanup. They did an outstanding job. There were 2 different Chris's that worked on this project. Chris E. and Josh did the Renovation and did an outstanding and professional job. They worked really hard and I am so thankful for their quality of work. I was really down when with all the problems and mess, but the people from Utah Flood Co made a hard situation so much better. I can honestly say I am so happy with the job they did for us. Thank you, so much!

Mike was very knowledgeable and explained the process very well. Memo and Manny were very professional and took the time to explain the set up, removal of the affected area and gave instructions on follow that is needed. Great experience so far.Update: they had to make a return trip as not everything was dry enough to seal. Chris and Manny came up and finished the job quickly and gave me additional instructions about when to put the Sheetrock back on. Extremely professional and competent. Good communication throughout.

I contact Daryl about wanting to have a mold inspection done in my crawl space. He was incredibly nice and immediately booked at time with me. When he arrived at the house, he carefully did his work, showed me the results of the tests. Thankfully there was no mold. But, even better, he took the time to show me and explain a few areas of concern for the future. Really incredible service. I wish everyone was so professional. I couldn't recommend someone more highly. 5 star!

Sadly, I've had to use Utah Flood Cleanup 4 times in the last year! I really appreciate how quickly they responded to each casualty. They were there right away! Daryl, the owner, gave me a price that was half of the other quote I got, and his men are professionals... not kids who don't have a clue. Plus, he included more "fixes" in his quote for less money. He is very knowledgeable and I felt very confident in his recommendations. He also worked directly with our insurance adjuster so that I didn't have to! I highly recommend this company.

I called Utah Flood Cleanup when I had a leak in the kitchen that drained down into the basement. Daryl came out shortly after speaking to me on the phone! He was friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. He quickly and thoroughly assessed the situation, explaining everything he did as he went along. I was very impressed with how thorough he was in his examination of the damage. He let me know up front what I was looking at and I felt he was very honest and reasonable. I've had other companies out who seem to know very little and just want to start ripping everything out at once! Daryl explained and showed me why he recommended what he did and I felt very comfortable and confident in his recommendations. I highly recommend this company!! You won't be sorry.

We wanted our house checked for mold due to a moderately high mold count in the air sample. They were very thorough and found only one small spot in the bathroom that needed attention. They advised on our options for dealing with it and did not propose expensive and unnecessary repairs.

Within the last year we had a major flood in the basement, and just today had another water issue that flooded a smaller portion of the basement. I called The Flood Company immediately and they were on-site within an hour or so. I'm extremely pleased with The Flood Co. The professionalism and expertise demonstrate by Jackson and Sam put my mind at ease, knowing we would be taken care of well. I would recommend The Flood Company to anyone in need of these services. They get a five star rating from us!

My main water line broke and our crawl space was flooding. I called my insurance company and they recommended these guys. Sam and Jesus showed up and got things taken care of. They stopped the water line and put fans to dry the area. The insurance process was super smooth I'm glad I called them!

Utah Flood Cleanup is amazing! Josh and Jesus stopped by after their shift and were kind enough to give us a free inspection of our flood problem. Our little 4 year old thought he'd make a sauna in the bathroom. He flipped the shower on and walked away. We never heard the water running and came upstairs to put my daughter to bed. Sure enough, the shower was pointed into the bathroom and flooded the whole thing. Josh and Jesus came out got the whole place inspected, pulled out themal meters and moisture meters and confirmed there was water damage (and old mold growth from previous spills). They grabbed their tools and began demolishing the floor themselves, right then and there so we could get fans on it to prevent future mold growth. I hope I never have another flood but if I do, I'm definitely calling them again! They're the best!!~~~

I called in the morning and they came that afternoon. Chris and Jesus came. They were professional, polite, knowledgeable and they quickly got the place all cleaned up and prepped for the repair. Then they recommended some handymen to do the repair. I hired Hank and he was great too. Did the whole job in one day.

You showed up to our house based upon little information. When you got here you went right to work looking to see what was going on. With being a family of 7, it can be a scramble being out of a bathroom and no shower. You were excellent and so kind on letting us know what our options are and what you can do to resolve the problem in our basement bathroom. With being in our new home, not even making a second mortgage payment yet, it is hard to discover there is mold and a water leak through out the basement bathroom and laundry room. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to come to our house. My brother in law referred us to you, and it was the best referral, so thank you very much.

Why Ignoring Water Damage Costs More Than You Think
Water in the ceiling isn’t just an eyesore. It weakens drywall, warps wood, and invites mold that can grow in as little as 24 hours. Left untreated, small stains can develop into sagging ceilings, necessitate structural repairs, and pose significant health risks. What starts as a few hundred dollars in repair costs can easily escalate into thousands. Acting quickly is the only way to prevent long-term damage and higher expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
The cost can vary significantly depending on the size of the damaged area, the type of ceiling material, and whether there are underlying issues such as mold or structural damage. On average, small drywall patches may cost between $200 and $500, while larger sections requiring full replacement can range from $1,200 to $2,500. If water damage has spread to insulation, electrical wiring, or support beams, the cost can rise significantly. At Utah Flood Cleanup, we offer free inspections to provide a precise estimate tailored to your specific situation. For additional insights, see our guide on the 5 potential causes of water damage.
For small patches, the repair process can take just a few hours, especially if the source of water has already been fixed. Larger projects, such as replacing an entire ceiling section, may take one to three days. When mold or structural repairs are required, the timeline can extend to several days or even a week. Our team focuses on both speed and thoroughness to make sure the problem is fully resolved and your home is safe.
Painting over water stains without addressing the underlying cause is never recommended. Even if the ceiling appears dry, hidden moisture can still weaken the material, leading to sagging, mold growth, and structural problems. If the damage is minor and fully dried, a stain-blocking primer followed by paint may temporarily hide the mark, but the safest solution is to replace the damaged section. For more tips, read our article on water damage dos and don’ts.
In many cases, yes. Insurance typically covers sudden and accidental water damage, such as from burst pipes, roof leaks, or appliance malfunctions. However, insurance may not cover damage resulting from long-term neglect or inadequate maintenance. Utah Flood Cleanup works directly with insurance companies and provides all required documentation. Our direct billing option means you may pay nothing out of pocket at the start of the project. You can also review our information on why you shouldn’t hire your insurance company’s preferred vendor.
Mold can start developing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure. It spreads quickly, especially in warm or humid conditions, and poses serious health risks such as respiratory irritation, allergies, and asthma triggers. That’s why immediate drying and remediation are critical. Our team uses professional drying equipment and mold remediation techniques to stop growth before it becomes a widespread problem. Discover the risks of mold in your home.
If the damage is minor, such as a small cosmetic stain, a homeowner with basic tools may be able to handle the repair. However, most cases involve hidden moisture, sagging drywall, or potential mold growth. DIY repairs often mask the problem rather than fixing it, leading to higher costs later. Hiring professionals ensures that both the cause and the damage are addressed, protecting your investment and safety. For a deeper dive, see our piece on the dangers of DIY water damage restoration.

We wanted our house checked for mold due to a moderately high mold count in the air sample. They were very thorough and found only one small spot in the bathroom that needed attention. They advised on our options for dealing with it and did not propose expensive and unnecessary repairs.

Within the last year we had a major flood in the basement, and just today had another water issue that flooded a smaller portion of the basement. I called The Flood Company immediately and they were on-site within an hour or so. I'm extremely pleased with The Flood Co. The professionalism and expertise demonstrate by Jackson and Sam put my mind at ease, knowing we would be taken care of well. I would recommend The Flood Company to anyone in need of these services. They get a five star rating from us!

My main water line broke and our crawl space was flooding. I called my insurance company and they recommended these guys. Sam and Jesus showed up and got things taken care of. They stopped the water line and put fans to dry the area. The insurance process was super smooth I'm glad I called them!

Utah Flood Cleanup is amazing! Josh and Jesus stopped by after their shift and were kind enough to give us a free inspection of our flood problem. Our little 4 year old thought he'd make a sauna in the bathroom. He flipped the shower on and walked away. We never heard the water running and came upstairs to put my daughter to bed. Sure enough, the shower was pointed into the bathroom and flooded the whole thing. Josh and Jesus came out got the whole place inspected, pulled out themal meters and moisture meters and confirmed there was water damage (and old mold growth from previous spills). They grabbed their tools and began demolishing the floor themselves, right then and there so we could get fans on it to prevent future mold growth. I hope I never have another flood but if I do, I'm definitely calling them again! They're the best!!~~~

I called in the morning and they came that afternoon. Chris and Jesus came. They were professional, polite, knowledgeable and they quickly got the place all cleaned up and prepped for the repair. Then they recommended some handymen to do the repair. I hired Hank and he was great too. Did the whole job in one day.

You showed up to our house based upon little information. When you got here you went right to work looking to see what was going on. With being a family of 7, it can be a scramble being out of a bathroom and no shower. You were excellent and so kind on letting us know what our options are and what you can do to resolve the problem in our basement bathroom. With being in our new home, not even making a second mortgage payment yet, it is hard to discover there is mold and a water leak through out the basement bathroom and laundry room. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to come to our house. My brother in law referred us to you, and it was the best referral, so thank you very much.

Why Ignoring Mold Costs More Than You Think
Water damage is stressful enough. But when mold sets in, it becomes a much bigger problem. Mold often begins within 24–48 hours of water exposure. It spreads behind walls, under carpets, and into HVAC systems. The longer it goes untreated, the harder and more expensive it becomes to remove.
More importantly, mold is a biohazard. It can trigger asthma, allergies, and long-term respiratory problems, especially in children and older adults. And because it feeds on organic material, mold will quietly destroy structural supports, furniture, and walls if left unchecked.
What this really means is simple: if you see or suspect mold, waiting isn’t an option.
What is Mold?
Mold spreads by airborne spores and can appear in many colors: white, green, brown, pink, orange, or black. Black mold is often feared as the most dangerous, but the truth is that many molds can produce toxins in the right conditions. Mold also gives off a damp, musty odor - one of the first warning signs of its presence.
While mold plays a vital role outdoors by decomposing organic matter, you don’t want it decomposing the studs and beams that hold your house together.
Common areas to check for mold growth include:
- The basement
- Under sinks
- Around doors and windows
- Bathrooms
- Attics
- Behind walls and ceilings
- Near plumbing lines
- Under furniture
Tip: Always use exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms to reduce moisture buildup.
Why Does Water Damage Always Cause Mold?
If your home floods due to a roof leak, burst pipe, ice damming, or appliance failure, mold is almost guaranteed to follow unless quick action is taken. Mold only needs three things to thrive:
- Sugar or starch (food source)
- Oxygen
- Moisture
Moisture is the variable you can control. Without proper drying, mold will continue to spread year-round, whether it’s hot or cold outside.
Is Mold Hazardous?
Yes. Mold is dangerous to both your health and your home. Spores can travel through the air and circulate via your HVAC system, spreading the infestation throughout the entire property.
Health Risks of Mold Exposure:
- Chronic coughing or wheezing
- Sneezing, eye irritation, hay fever-like symptoms
- Breathing difficulties
- Severe respiratory reactions in children and the elderly
- Headaches
- Fatigue
For those with allergies or long-term exposure, the effects can be much more serious.
Structural Risks of Mold:
Mold consumes organic materials like drywall, insulation, and wood beams. Over time, untreated infestations can weaken the structure of your home.
How to Stop Mold from Water Damage
If water intrusion occurs in your home, quick action is the only way to prevent mold.
Here’s what to do immediately:
- Shut off your home’s main water valve.
- Open windows for ventilation.
- Turn on all fans and dehumidifiers.
- Remove affected furniture and carpet.
- Document the damage with photos for insurance.
Then, call professionals to:
- Perform a complete mold inspection (attics, behind walls, insulation, plumbing lines).
- Use industrial drying equipment for hidden structures.
- Complete professional mold remediation to eliminate spores and prevent regrowth.

Came home to a flooded basement on a Sunday night. Called The Flood Company and they were very responsive. Memo and Chris came out within about an hour or so. They inspected the area and got right on extracting what water they could without moving everything out to stabilize the situation. Before they left they explained what would need to happen going forward, answered ally questions, and set up a plan to contact me the next day to make a plan for full restoration pending my contact with the insurance company.

I am extremely pleased with the work and help from Flood Co with the sewer backup into the house. I highly recommend them. Mike, the operations manager, worked with the insurance company, took pictures, and got everything submitted, setup, and scheduled. Memo and Chris F. and crew first came out and did the mitigation, took pictures, and cleanup. They did an outstanding job. There were 2 different Chris's that worked on this project. Chris E. and Josh did the Renovation and did an outstanding and professional job. They worked really hard and I am so thankful for their quality of work. I was really down when with all the problems and mess, but the people from Utah Flood Co made a hard situation so much better. I can honestly say I am so happy with the job they did for us. Thank you, so much!

Mike was very knowledgeable and explained the process very well. Memo and Manny were very professional and took the time to explain the set up, removal of the affected area and gave instructions on follow that is needed. Great experience so far.Update: they had to make a return trip as not everything was dry enough to seal. Chris and Manny came up and finished the job quickly and gave me additional instructions about when to put the Sheetrock back on. Extremely professional and competent. Good communication throughout. Thanks for the great help.

Sadly, I've had to use Utah Flood Cleanup 4 times in the last year! I really appreciate how quickly they responded to each casualty. They were there right away! Daryl, the owner, gave me a price that was half of the other quote I got, and his men are professionals... not kids who don't have a clue. Plus, he included more "fixes" in his quote for less money. He is very knowledgeable and I felt very confident in his recommendations. He also worked directly with our insurance adjuster so that I didn't have to! I highly recommend this company.

I was very impressed with how thorough he was in his examination of the damage. He let me know up front what I was looking at and I felt he was very honest and reasonable. I've had other companies out who seem to know very little and just want to start ripping everything out at once! Daryl explained and showed me why he recommended what he did and I felt very comfortable and confident in his recommendations. I highly recommend this company!! You won't be sorry.

You showed up to our house based upon little information. When you got here you went right to work looking to see what was going on. With being a family of 7, it can be a scramble being out of a bathroom and no shower. You were excellent and so kind on letting us know what our options are and what you can do to resolve the problem in our basement bathroom. With being in our new home, not even making a second mortgage payment yet, it is hard to discover there is mold and a water leak through out the basement bathroom and laundry room. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to come to our house. My brother in law referred us to you, and it was the best referral, so thank you very much.
