  • Keep the tree well watered
  • Never locate the tree near a fireplace
  • Secure from falling with a sturdy well balanced base
  • Check your lights for any loose bulbs or frayed wires
  • Always turn off lights when you are not home
  • Avoid using candles near the tree

A Christmas tree fire can be devastating to your family and can happen in minutes.  Here is a an example of how a dry tree can do much more damage than a well watered one.
