<body><div>LAUREL, Miss. (WDAM) - Many people are decorating for the holidays and planning extravagant dinners. Laurel Fire Department (LFD) says it doesn’t want to ruin the holiday spirit, but it’s warning of fire risks.Laurel Fire Chief Leo Brown says LFD sees an increase in house fires around the holidays each year. In response, LFD will be launching its free smoke detector installation program on Monday. The fire department will come to your home with the necessary equipment and spend time talking through some fire hazards like fireplaces, string lights and Christmas trees. “That’s some of the stuff we teach when we go out and install these smoke alarms in this time,” Brown said. “We’ll be all over the city doing fire safety visits. If someone has a question, they just pick up the phone and call us. We’ll come out. If you’ve got any questions about your fire extinguisher or your fire smoke alarm, we’ll come out and check it. “In order to qualify for a free smoke detector, you must be a homeowner, willing to sign a waiver, and live within Laurel city limits.Again, sign-ups for the program begin on Monday. To sign up, call 601-438-6597.<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3XlYrK_1GqQPLA400" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3XlYrK_1GqQPLA400" width="1300" height="241" ><figcaption>WDAM 7 On Your Side composer template image (WDAM7)</figcaption></figure>Want more WDAM 7 news in your inbox?
