Holiday trees & decorations
A dry tree can be engulfed in flames in seconds.
- Choose a fresh tree and water it every day.
- Keep the tree at least 3 feet from heaters, fireplaces and candles.
- Turn off tree lights when you go to bed or leave home.
- Replace light strings with broken bulbs or worn wires.
- Get rid of the tree after the holidays, once it starts dropping needles.
In an emergency, always call 911.
