Note how quickly the tree burns..

NEVER leave a lighted Christmas tree unattended.

Always a good idea to have an ABC fire extinguisher nearby.

Keep you and your family safe..

Make sure you water your tree and this might not happen at all.

I'll take this opportunity to add a few more fire safety tips.  After all, within a few weeks families will be picking out and bringing home Christmas trees for the holiday season.

Protect your family and your neighbors with the following
fire prevention tips:

• When choosing an artificial tree, be sure it is
labeled as fire-retardant. When choosing a real
tree, select the freshest-looking tree available.
• Select a tree that is an appropriate size for
the room. Keep in mind that trees look smaller
when they are outside and tree toppers
and stands will add to the final height of the
tree.
• If you don't plan on putting the tree up right away, make
a one half inch fresh cut off the bottom of the trunk and
place the tree in a five-gallon bucket of warm water.
Store the tree in cool temperatures, but above freezing.

• If the tree has been stored for more than three days,
prior to putting it up, make another one inch cut off the
bottom of the trunk and immediately place the tree into
a stand that holds at least a half-gallon of water.
• Keep the water level above the cut and check the
water level daily. (Initially, a fresh tree may soak
up a gallon of water per day.)
• No water additives, such as aspirin, sugar or
commercial fire retardant, are necessary.
Plain tap water is best!
• Place the tree away (at least three feet) from
heating system air registers, fireplaces and
other heat sources.
• Try to position the tree near an electrical
outlet to minimize use of extension
cords.
• Adequately support the tree with a sturdy stand
designed not to tip over.

Hope this helps in keeping your family safe this Christmas Season
