Unfortunately, In -The Horne Fire Hazards Increase during the Festive Season
ANS
In seconds, 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.
* Yoor tree shouid,be fresh. A dry tree readily sheds its needles. Keep your
tree outdoor 4 until you are ready to decorate. Indoors, keep the tree
standing in Water, atter 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 a the reach of little hands.
• Clear wrappings away from the base of the tree as soon as the gifts are
oPene0-
• 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 greaseare 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. -
