PENED!
In seconds, a festive tree
rnay become a torch
in minutes a house• may, be destroyedl
Here's advice from the Joint Fire Prevention PublicityCommittee of
'Canada: ,
*• YOLIP •evergreen Christmas tree and its decorations are potential fire
hezerds. They heed 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 lit least an inch from the butt.
Replenish the water daily.
'* Yolk* 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 haiards.
* Keep matches out of the reach' of little hands. r
* 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 13lock access to exits.
Have plenty of large ash trays for the guests who sm0e.
* Never leave small children alone or unattended in the home.
* Cookstove fires from 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. •
