When using a metallic tree, spotlight it Nam nearby. „ Do not put electric lights on it. If'a short circuit ehbuld occur, the entire tree could become . electrically "alive". Use glass and asbestos dec- orations which are non- combustible or fire retardant. Keep evergreens or polystyrene foam decorations away from candles,, fireplaces, and other open flames. • when unwrapping the Christ- mas presents, have a large con- tainer available for the wrap- pi egs and dispose of them as soon as"possible.
