**Holiday Safety Tips from Alexandria Authorities**

Alexandria, Louisiana—The Alexandria Police Department, in collaboration with the Alexandria Fire Department, has shared holiday safety tips to help keep residents safe during the festive season.

In a light-hearted yet cautionary message, the departments highlighted key fire safety measures. One tip reminds residents to hang stockings "with care" but to ensure they are far from any fire hazards. Common holiday items, such as candles, Christmas trees, and decorative lights, can pose fire risks if not handled properly.

Officials urge residents to keep decorations away from heat sources, like fireplaces or heaters, and to make sure holiday lights are turned off before bed to prevent potential hazards.

Staying attentive to these simple precautions can help residents enjoy a safe and happy holiday season.
