In seconds, a festive tree
may become a torch
in minutes a house may be destroyed!
Here's advice from the JOifit 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 tree outdoors until you are ready to decorate. Indoors, keep the 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
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 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 rhome.
* 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.
