Holiday Fire Prevention

- When buying a live tree, check for freshness - green needles, trunk sticky with resin, and few lost needles when tapped on the ground.
- Never place a fresh Christmas tree next to a heat source. Heat dries out trees and makes them easier to catch on fire.
- Keep your tree stand filled with water at all times.
- When the tree gets dry, get rid of it. Look for a recycling center near you.
- Never burn a Christmas tree or its branches in a fireplace or wood stove.
