Fire and Rescue Service offer advice ahead of the holiday
Only buy gifts online from trusted retailers, and make sure you unplug your Christmas lights before going to bed.

In the run-up to Christmas, we inevitably tend to have more fire hazards in our homes, as we decorate and buy gifts for the holiday.
Richard Little is a leading firefighter for the Island's fire and rescue service.
He says it's paramount we apply common sense when it comes to keeping ourselves safe from house fires over the festive period:
