Emergency? Call 911Members

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.
