These Safety Tips Are Courtesy Of “The Belvidere Fire Department” We Wish You A Joyous & Safe Holiday Season!

HOLIDAY SAFE TREE Trimming the Christmas tree is one of the highlights of the holiday season. Follow these tips to make sure you’re decorating safely: When using a traditional tree, keep your tree in water at all times and away from your fireplace, radiator and heater. • Check your tree lights. Repair or throw away lights with frayed or exposed wires. Turn off all the lights when you leave home or go to bed. • Have a reliable fire extinguisher in your home. Know where it is and how to use it. • Only use indoor, UL® approved lights on your tree. Miniature lights which have cool-burning bulbs are safest. • Never use more than three light sets on one extension cord. Extension cords should be placed against walls to avoid tripping hazards, but never under rugs. • Avoid placing small or breakable ornaments on lower tree branches where small children or pets can reach them.
