Holiday Fire Safety Tips

December 3, 2024 · by johntarheel76

The holiday season is a time for joy and celebration, but it’s also important to be mindful of potential fire hazards. One of the biggest culprits is the Christmas tree. When choosing a tree, make sure it’s fresh and keep it well-watered to prevent it from drying out. Avoid placing it near heat sources like fireplaces or radiators, and be sure to turn off all lights before going to bed or leaving the house.

Another common fire hazard during the holidays is candles. Always use candles in sturdy holders and keep them away from flammable materials like curtains, paper, or decorations. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and extinguish it before going to sleep. Consider using battery-operated flameless candles as a safer alternative. Finally, be cautious when decorating with lights. Inspect them for any damage before using them, and avoid overloading outlets. By taking these simple precautions, you can enjoy a safe and happy holiday season.

Volunteering

November 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey, everyone. It’s Bob McCranie, with Texas Pride Realty.

And your realty idea of the day, is volunteering at seniors centers. Now this is when I talk about a couple times through out the year. We’re coming up on the holidays, seniors are lonely. They don’t have family around sometimes. Maybe they’re not going to see their family during the holidays. Maybe they’re alone.

So go volunteer at a seniors center and maybe take 5 or 20 people from your office there as well. And it doesn’t have to be like, you can go to a senior care facility, but you can also go to the city. Most municipalities now have seniors centers that people go to as a day thing. And you can go there and just kind of help serve lunch, and sit among the ladies and the gentleman, and play cards or whatever. Just have a day where you go volunteer there and go meet people and just say hi.

So seniors centers at the holidays, critical time. Holidays are a time of much joy, they can also be a time of much depression. Go to the seniors centers, help out somebody. Bob McCranie, realty ideas per day. By the way, post on your social where all the seniors centers are. Get more people to come with you. Bye-bye.

Winterize

November 21, 2018 · by Bob McCranie

Hey everyone, it’s Bob McCranie with Texas Pride Realty, and your realty idea of the day is winterizing your home. Now I live in Texas, so we go through summer, summer, half a day of fall, and right into winter. So depending on your part of the country, you may need to have your furnace checked. You may need to have oil put into the reservoir for the furnace. You may have to have your roof done, ceiling, windows, and trim and paint and things like that. Anything to make your home weatherproof and cold proof would be beneficial. So, I don’t know your part of the world. Educate me. What do you need to do? Do you have a need to have a stockpile of ice, in case it…I’m sorry, ice, salt in case it ices up? Maybe you need to get some new snow shovels or get your snow blower checked or whatever it is you do. Put it out there, tag me in it. I would love to see what other parts of the country do throughout the winter season. Bob McCranie, Texas Pride Realty. There’ll be another realty idea of the day posted tomorrow. Bye-bye.
