The Dublin Fire Brigade tweeted this photo of the Elf who got injured on the job.
Close one for this #ElfOnAShelf after she ended up on a lamp. The householder had done the right thing & purchased one with a CE mark. The Elf resisted heat for 40 minutes. Keep all decorations away from heat pic.twitter.com/t7R3GrQIyD

The tweet states, "Close one for this #ElfOnAShelf after she ended up on a lamp. The householder had done the right thing & purchased one with a CE mark. The Elf resisted heat for 40 minutes. Keep all decorations away from heat."
Another incident happened in Canada.
Barrie Fire in Ontario also shared several pictures on Twitter of some elves who have gotten singed on the job.
We know that the #elfontheshelf is famous for getting into mischief. Please make sure you keep it away from anything hot! Lots of burned/scorched damaged elves out there. pic.twitter.com/Ufsx0jG90R

This is a good reminder not to have the Elf on the Shelf sit on any kind of lights, lamps, or get too close to an open flame.
Sometimes, he finds a good hiding place near the oven, so you might want to move him if that happens.
When it comes holiday decorations, safety is key.
The Consumer Product Safety Commision has these to make sure your holiday stays injury free.
