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
treeoutdoors until you .are_se.ady_to_...d.ecarate_incloo-rs,---keep—th-e—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
cirtuits. Buy only CSA approved sets. Use non-flammabie 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 from oils or grease are" an. ,gmergency: Smother the
flames...a rug...baking soda...never water. If this doesn't do the job, get
everybody out and call the Fire Department.
wishes one and all A SAFE CHRISTMAS SEASON!
