Live Christmas Trees

Dried Christmas trees only take seconds to completely burst into flames.

Reminder:

Water your tree! Dried-out Christmas trees create a potential fire hazard. With the hustle and bustle of the season, we tend to forget to water the tree. When the holidays pass, throw out your tree in a safe way. Because how flammable dried pine trees are, they should not be left in the home or garage near heat sources. Especially avoid placing it outside against the home, even if for a few hours. It only takes one accident to happen. 

Don't forget about bringing outdoor electrical lights inside after the holidays to further prevent any fire hazards. Plus, doing this also helps your Christmas light last longer.

Tree Light Tips

• Use lights that have the label of an independent testing laboratory. Some lights are only for indoor or outdoor use.
• Replace any string of lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb connections. Read manufacturer's instructions for number of light strands to connect. 
• Never use lit candles to decorate the tree.
• Always turn off Christmas tree lights before leaving home or going to bed.
