| Trees |
| |
- Buy only a fresh tree! Dry needles and brittle branches
are a sign the tree is not fresh and will burn easily.
- Make a diagonal cut in the tree truck. It will
allow the tree to absorb water.
- Water the tree daily.
- Position the tree away from any heat source, such
as fireplaces, heat registers, or portable heaters.
- Never burn your tree in your fireplace.

Lights |
-
Use only UL approved tree lights.
-
Check for frayed or bare wiring,
cracked or broken sockets, and loose connections.
-
If lights show signs of wear and
tear, do not use them.
-
Avoid using extension cords. Never
run an electrical cord under carpeting.
-
Lights can overload circuits. Watch
for signs of lights dimming.
-
Turn off all lights when leaving
the house or when going to bed.
