Christmas season
fire safety hints
Buy the freshest, greenest
Christmas tree you can obtain,
and store it outdoors or in an un-
heated garage until you are
ready to decorate it. Then cut one
or two inches diagonally from the
butt before setting it up indoors in
water. Replenish water re-
gularly. Remember that if a tree
has dried out beyond its moisture
recovery limit, it will continue to
dry out, even when standing in
water:
Even at maximum moisture
content, a tree will burn if flame
is applied all around the base
Keep discarded gift wrappings
away from the base of the tree,
and make the Christmas tree
area a no -smoking zone.
Use only non-flammable orna-
ments and' trim on the tree. Do
not decorate metallic artificial
trees with strings of electric
lights, but illuminate by flood-
light if desired. • Some plastic
trees, made from stryene mater-
ials are flammable and may burn.
' iolently Never use candles' to
decorate any tree.
.Never leave small, children a-
lone at Christmas for at any oth-
er. time). The. employment of a
reliable babysitter is the best as-
surance of freedom from worry if
you plan to' get together with
friends, in your home or theirs.
Set up Christmas. trees indoors,
just before Christmas, and re-
move them as 'soon as possible
after Christmas. Keep trees
away from heat sources, and do
not allow them to block exits.
If fire should strike, first get
.‘ ervone 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
