While having a pro install your outdoor lights is recommend, if you feel comfortable doing it yourself, make sure your electrical connections are as safe as possible.Christmas Light Professionals lead installer Jason Stroup was stringing holiday lights on the Taylorsville City Hall trees.
“We always keep our tree far away from our fireplace, because that makes me nervous too and we always make sure our tree is very well watered too, cause I know they can be a big fire hazard as well.”According to Stroup, getting a second opinion from neighbors is a good tell on what to look out for.“Talk to your neighbors, see who does their lights. If you like the way their lights look, ask who does them,' he said.
