Assemblymember David Weprin

Assembly member David I. Weprin (D-Richmond Hill, Glen Oaks) will join officers from the New York Police Department (NYPD), firefighters from the Fire Department of New York (FDNY), representatives from Con Edison, and volunteers from the American Red Cross for a free seminar on staying safe during the holiday season today.

According National Fire Protection Association:

  • One of every four home Christmas tree fires is caused by electrical problems.
  • Although Christmas tree fires are not common, when they do occur, they are more likely to be serious. On average, one of every 32 reported home Christmas tree fires results in a death compared to an average of one death per 143 total reported home fires.
  • A heat source too close to the tree causes one in every four Christmas tree fires.
  • The top three days for home candle fires are Christmas, New Year’s Day, and Christmas Eve.
  • Candles start two out of five home decoration structure fires.

The event is slated for 10:30 a.m., today, Nov. 30, at Hillcrest Jewish Center, at 183-02 Union Turnpike in Fresh Meadows.
