Holiday Fire
Safety Hints
Are Noted
This Is the second article on"
Fire Safety With regard to the
Christmas Tree. These are
suggestions that so many of us
fall to observe. Loulsburg Fire
Department asks that the public
please observe these Jhis year
and see If we can be more SAFE
than In the pjst.
Christmas trees, decorative
lighting, wax candles and com
bustible' -wrappings and de
corative materials ? all In
crease the fire hazards In our
homes at'chrlstmastlme. Here
are some suggestions to keep
In mind during the holiday sea
son.
1 . Tree should be freshly cut.
(It Is If needles stay on when
you bounce the butt hard on the
ground; If you cannot pull
needles out of tlie end of the
branches easllyi'U Stump Is
sticky with resin. ) It should
stand tVf- water from the tlm?
It Is* brought Into the house
uoUl' It Is taken out. Set the
treo away from radiators or
fireplace, and never where It
might block escape In case of
fire. If you buy a plastic tree
be sure It Is marked as made of
slow-burning materials, if your
tree Is metal, don't use light
ing strings on it. Metal trees
will conduct electricity, so use
only Indirect lighting.
2. Decorative lighting should
be used with care. Check light
ing strings before using for
frayed wires, loose connections
and broften sockets. Never use
wax candles on or near the tree,
or with polystyrene foam de
corations. Make sure tree and
other decorative lighting Is
turned off before the famfly goes
to bed or leaves the,j house.
3. If you use polystyrene foam,
;otton batting, paper and other
combustible materials for de
;oratlons, make sure they are
?Flame-proofed." Use metal,
jiass, and other noncombustlble
lecoratlng materials If there Is
% choice.
4. Dispose of gift wrappings
promptly. (If s unsafe to burn
them In a fireplace.)
