Don't let your Christmas Tree go up in Flames!

Everywhere you go – It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  Christmas Lights and decorated trees are a beautiful site to see this time of year.  But always remember safety first. One in every four house fires around the holidays is caused by tree fires.  Always place your tree away from any heat source like a fireplace, heat vents and radiators. Check your water base daily if you have a live tree – especially those first few days after being cut.  When installing lights make sure they have all been lab tested. Use lights that produce low heat this will reduce drying of your live tree. Inspect light sets prior to placing them on your tree for any frayed wires or broken bulbs.  It’s the most wonderful time of the year – follow these safety tips to assure your family is safe this Holiday Season.
