Liberty Mutual Provides Online Resource and Fire Safety Tips for Busy Moms at www.BeFireSmart.com
Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 2, 2008 -- Liberty Mutual Insurance and Holly Robinson Peete, actress, philanthropist and mother of four, are teaming up to encourage families to set aside a few moments before the holiday rush to review fire safety precautions and response plans at BeFireSmart.com.
Home fires top the list of Americans' safety concerns, according to a recent Liberty Mutual/IAFF Fire Safety study, and the holiday season gives many people reason for worry. The U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) estimates that 47,000 fires occur nationally each year during the holidays claiming more than 500 lives, causing more than 2,200 injuries and costing $554 million in property damage.
''Holiday fire safety should not be taken lightly,'' said Peete. "While the holidays are a festive time that brings families and tradition together, the excitement of the season may overshadow hidden dangers in your home. By taking a few moments to review fire safety precautions and response plans, parents can help prevent an unfortunate holiday disaster."
