BE SURE

CHRISTMAS
Unfortunately, in-The-Home Fire Hazards Increase during the Festive Seasin
Here's advice from the Joint Fire Prevention Publicity Committee of
Canada:
* Your evergreen Chrietmas tree and its decorations are potential fire
hazards. They 'head the list of a sensible family's preparations for a happy
holiday.. -
* Your tree should be fresh. A dry tree readily sheds its needles. Keep your
tree outdoors until you, are -ready to decorate. Indoors, keep the tree
standing in water, after cutting off at least an inch from the butt.
Replenish the water daily.
* Your electric lighting strings should be checked for frayed cords or short
circuits. Buy only CSA approved sets. Use non-flammable decorations.
Disconnect the lighti when leaving home or going to bed. Candles, of course,
-constitute added hazards.
* Keep matches out of the reach of little hands.
* Clear wrappings away from the base of the tree as soon as the gals are
opened.
* Set the tree away from the fireplace. Do not block access to exits.
Have plenty of large ash trays for the guests who smoke.
* Never leave small children alone or unattended in the home.
* Cookstove fires from oils or grease are an emergency. Smother the
flames...a rug...baking soda—never water. If this doesn't do the job, get
everybody out and call the Fire Department.
In seconds, a festive tree
• may become a torch
in minutes a house may be deroyed!
On behalf of the Seaforth area Fire Department, Chief Don Hulley
wishes one and all A SAFE CHRISTMAS SEASON
