Fire Chief | outlines hazards A happy Christmas can change in a few moments into a family tragedy, warns Fire Chief Jack Cook, in homes where fire safety pre- cautions are neglected. Such precautions should head the list of every sensible family's preparations for Christmas, he says. The Fire Chief urges the public to exercise special care in the setting up and decoration of Christmas trees, and draws attention to the following important points: If plans call for a natural tree it should be bought fresh and green, and kept outdoors or in an unheated garage before being brought into the home for decorating. Then, one or two inches should be cut diagonally from the butt, and the tree should be set up with the butt in water which should be maintained above Check strings of electric lights carefully for worn in- sulation, broken plugs or lose "bulb sockets. Only ~CSA=-- approved lighting sets and only non-flammable decora- tions should be used. De- clare the tree a no-smoking area and keep matches out of the hands of children. Do not allow discared gift wrappings to accumulate under the tree. Dispose of them as soon as the gifts are opened. Even a green tree will burn if ignited by burning paper around the base. heat sources such as fire- places, TV sets or radiators. Do not allow it to block access to doors or windows in the event of fire. Switch off tree lights at bedtime or when leaving the house. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. "Pattersons.
