Salisbury, MD – The City of Salisbury Fire Marshal’s Office will host a live fire safety demonstration on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the training grounds of Fire Station 16. The event is open to community members and media representatives, and will highlight common holiday fire hazards.
As part of the demonstration, fire officials will showcase the dangers of an overfilled turkey fryer and the rapid ignition of a dried-out Christmas tree. These highly visual demonstrations serve as important reminders of the increased fire risks during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays.
“As we gather with family and friends this holiday season, let’s remember that fire safety is one of the best gifts we can give our loved ones. Simple steps—like 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. The Office of the City Fire Marshal also encourages members of the media to attend and share these important safety messages with the community.” – Said Eric Cramer, Salisbury Fire Marshal
The Fire Marshal’s Office encourages members of the media to attend and share these important safety messages with the community.
