"Christmas brings temptations
to many parents, Mille visiting
with neighbours or completing
last *Minute shopping, to leave
small children unattended for
short periods," says Fire Chief
Hulley.
"At the same time,
decorations, trees and wrapping
paper bring an increased threat of
fire danger unless constant care is
exercised."
The Fire Chief urges all parents
to recognize the fire danger of
this season, and not to leave'small
children alone in the home even
for a moment. He points out that
the Criminal Code of Canada
forbids' such action which
endangers the life or health of any
child under the age of ten years.
Parents are further reminded
that under certain conditions a
Christmas tree can be ignited by a
single match to burn furiously to
charred wood in a few seconds.,
Care must be taken to keep butts
of natural trees immersed in
water and to ensure that the tree
itself does not obstruct access to a
door or window. Families are also
urged to review their home
fire-escape plans for quick exit in
an emergency.

IF FIRE SHOULD STRIKE; first
get everyone out of the house,
then sound the alarm and call the
fire department before
attempting to fight the fire
yourself. Your first rule in the
event of fire is GET OUT
SAFELY. '
FIRE SAFETY '
The Evergreen Chi.istmas tree,
safe with intelligent use, can
present a serious fire hazard if
improperly handled. ' ' The .,
difference lies in the tree's
moisture content - a condition
over which you have a surprising
degree of control. There are three
simple steps,; safe enjoyment of
your favourite tree:
1. Don't purchase a tree that has
dried out. Trees that are trio dry-
have brittle branches that "Shed
needles easily. Test twigs- and
needles for :flexibility. •
2. Store tree outdoors, preferably
under shade, until it is to be used.
If it must be stored indoors; re-cut
butt and immerse in Water.
Maintain water supply.
3. When tree is to be erected,
re-cut butt diagonally. Stand tree
in water and maintain water
supply for duration of tree's use.
A tree handled in this manner
will achieve a moisture content ,
equal to, and in many cases
greater than, its moisture content
when cut, and will stay fresh;
green and ,safe - through the
Christmas season.
