CHRISTMAS SAFETY TIPS #safetyfirst Never throw wrapping paper in the fire. Heart2Heart CPR reminds you of three reasons why you should never burn wrapping paper: #MerryChristmas > Traveling embers. Paper burned in the fireplace may release small pieces which can land on a rug or carpet, setting it on fire. These smoldering fragments could even float up the chimney and out onto your roof or lawn. Flame height. Flames from burning paper tend to burn higher than wood flam...es. They could reach combustible material in your fireplace, causing a chimney fire. Toxic fumes. When ignited, paper with colored print or glitter can release harmful gases. See more

CHRISTMAS SAFETY TIPS #safetyfirst Don’t share holiday plans or vacations on social media. #MerryChristmas > Social media is a great way to share what you and your family are doing for the holidays. However, if you are leaving your home for an extended period of time, we remind you not to put your plans or pictures on social media until after you return. You could be unintentionally inviting thieves to break into your house while you’re away.

WINTER SEASON MYTHS #FIRSTAID Heat loss from the head. #SAFETYFIRST > In the years after World War II, the U.S. Army Field Manual claimed that 40 to 45 percent of body heat is lost through the head, and the story has been passed down from worried moms ever since. But in 2006, skeptical scientists tested people in cold water (with and without wetsuits), and found that the head accounts for about 7 percent of the body's surface area, and the heat loss is fairly proportional to the amount of skin that's showing.

CHRISTMAS SAFETY TIPS #safetyfirst Turn off tree lights, decorations, and portable space heaters when away or asleep. #MerryChristmas > Did you know that there are more than 25,000 residential fires a year caused by space heaters and more than 200 caused by tree lights and decorations? Heart2Heart CPR reminds you that in order to avoid these tragedies, be sure to unplug all of your lights, decorations, and portable space heaters when not in the same room.

WINTER SEASON MYTHS #FIRSTAID A nip will warm you. #SAFETYFIRST > That warm, invigorating rush you feel after a sip of brandy might feel like a rush of heat, but actually, alcohol is a vasodilator (it increases the size of your blood vessels) and promotes the loss of heat from your body. In fact, many cases of hypothermia a potentially deadly condition that results when your body's core temperature drops to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius) or lower are brought on overconsumption of alcohol. This winter, stay warm by staying dry, not drunk.
