SALISBURY, MD – The City of Salisbury Fire Marshal’s Office will host a live fire safety demonstration on Friday, November 14, 2025, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the training grounds of Fire Station 16, according to a post on the city’s official Facebook page. The event is open to community members and media representatives and will highlight common holiday fire hazards. During the demonstration, fire officials will showcase the dangers of an overfilled turkey fryer and the rapid ignition of a dried-out Christmas tree. These demonstrations are intended to remind the public of the increased fire risks during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
“As we gather with family and friends this holiday season, let us remember that fire safety is one of the best gifts we can give our loved ones. Simple steps, such as attentive cooking, watering your Christmas tree daily, keeping decorations away from heat sources, and checking light cords for damage, can make all the difference. The holidays should be filled with warmth, laughter, and lasting memories, not preventable tragedy. On behalf of the Fire Marshal’s Office, I encourage everyone to celebrate safely and keep this season joyful for all,” said Eric Cramer, Salisbury Fire Marshal.
The Fire Marshal’s Office encourages media representatives to attend and share these safety messages with the community. For more information, contact the Salisbury Fire Department at 410-548-3120.
