The N.H. State Fire Marshal's Office and The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) are teaming up with the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA) to promote their campaign "Put a Freeze on Winter Fires," which works to educate the public about potential fire hazards during the winter months and holiday season.

J. William Degnan, N.H. State Fire Marshal and N.H. Association of Fire Chiefs' president and Belmont Fire Chief David Parenti want to remind residents that winter is the peak season for New Hampshire home fires. Candle, decoration, and Christmas tree fires peak in December. "Put a Freeze on Winter Fires" provides awareness about these potential fire risks, along with advice and tips to avoid them.
