Your old tree lights could be worn and defective and it is essential that you check them for frayed wires and pos- sible short circuits which could cause a spark and ignite the tree.

The chief said other important things to remember are: Keep the tree away from all sources of heat such as radiators, fire places and television sets;. set it.up away from windows and doors so that it will not obstruct an exit from the room in the event of an emergency and never go to bed leaving the Christmas tree lights burning Always use fireproof . orna- ments.
