Unfortunately, e Home, R e Hazards Increase during the Festive Season
In second*, a festive tree
may become a torch
in minutes a house may be destroyed!
Here's advice from the Joint Fire Prevention Publicity Committee of
Canada:
Your evergreen Christmas :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 lights 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 gifts 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 Jrom 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.
On behalf of the Clinton Fire Department, Chief Grant Rath
wishes one and all A SAFE CHRISTMAS SEASON!
