The Voorhees Township Fire Department wishes everyone a happy and safe holiday season, prioritizing fire safety in all your celebrations. ✨
A dry Christmas tree poses a significant fire hazard. To ensure a safe holiday season, it is important to maintain your tree properly. Regularly check for dry or falling needles. Position the tree at least three feet away from heat sources. Additionally, ensure the tree is adequately watered by filling the water reservoir daily. Prioritize fire safety.![]()
