Fix It 101 | Holiday Fire Safety

According to the National Fire Protection Association, the top causes for house fires are cooking, heating, electrical, smoking, and candles. The winter and holiday season is always a great time to go over a home fire safety plan, and today we welcome the Jackson Fire Department, Division Chief Malcolm Alexander to talk about fire safety during the holidays. Pam, Jeff, and guest host Kevin Farrell work through another round of home improvement emails and questions.
