Morgan City Fire Department’s Fire Capt. John MacDougall said people should not overload extension cords when putting up Christmas lights and use ladder safety by appointing a spotter in case of a fall, as well as using the right height ladder for a task. MacDougall said, “Use manufacturer’s specifications when installing your lights and also use a heavy duty power strip. The two biggest accidents we receive calls from each year during the holidays are falls and electrical hazards.” MacDougall, left, demonstrates the correct usage of “spotting” for firefighter Russ Miller, right, as he manipulates an extension cord.
