Christmas
safety
A Happy Christmas can
change in a few moments into a
family tragedy, warns Fire Chief
John F. Scott, in homes where
fire safety precautions are ne-
glected. Such precautions should
head the list of every sensible
family's preparations for Christ-
mas. he says.
The Fire Chief urges the pitb-.
lic to exercise special care in
the setting. up and decoration of
Christmas trees. and draws at-
tention to the following impor-
tant points:
If plans call for a natural
tree it should be bought fresh
and green, and kept outdoors
or in an unheated garage before
being brought into the home for
decorating. Then, one or t.vo
inches should be cut diagonally
--from the butt, and the tree should
be set up with the butt in water
which should be maintained above
the level of the cut.
Check strings of electric
lights carefully for worn insula-
tion, broken plugs or loose bulb
sockets, Only CSA- approved
lighting sets and only non-flam-
mable decorations, should be
used. Declare the tree a no-
smoking area and keep matches
out of the hands of children.
Do not allow discared gift
wrappings to accumulate under
the tree. Dispose of them as
soon as the gifts are opened.
Even a green tree will burn if
ignited by burning paper around
the base.
Set up the' tree away from
heat sources such as fireplaces,
TV sets or radiators. Do not
allow it to block access to doors
or windows in the event of fire.
Switch off tree lights at bed-
time or when leaving the ,house.
Fire Chief Scott points our
that tests' have proved that the
safest tree is a tree with its
butt set in water. However,
if a tree has dried out before
it is set up, it cannot regain
its safe moisture level.,,, A dry
tree can be ignited by a single
match, to burn violently to a
charred state in a few seconds.
Even artificial trees can be
'serious fire hazards. Metallic
'trees are conductors of elect-
ricity; and should not be de-
corated with strings of lights,
but illuminated with floodlights.
Some plastic trees, made from
styrene materials, are flam-
mable, unlike those made from
polyvinylchloride.
All trees should be removed
from the home as soon as possible
after the Christmas celebrbtions.
