Diwali preparation includes a lot of cleaning, a decor refresh, buying diyas, and illuminating homes with fairy lights, lamps, and lanterns. Menus are planned for house parties, and every detail is considered to make the celebrations special.
An industry expert commented on the essential fire safety checks ahead of the festive season. Subodh Bhardwaj, Chief Operations Officer of Navaratna Concepts Pvt. Ltd shared with HT Lifestyle that fire hazards are common and happen suddenly, making it crucial to adhere to the safety precautions. He added, “No one wants to think about the dangers that may occur during their festive celebration. However, this should not become a source of stress. Many fires and electric shocks that occur at home can be prevented by identifying potential hazards and taking basic safety precautions. Festive lights, extension boards and longer appliance use can increase the load on your home’s electrical system.
When buying an extinguisher, check which types it is made to handle.
Have your wiring and electrical connections checked before the festive season.
