FIRE SAFE CHRISTMAS THE TREE Cut a growing tree or try to buy one that hasn't dried out from prolonged storage, (When too dry, tree branches are brittle and shed needles easily). Stand the tree in water or snow outdoors until you're ready to use it indoors. Bring the tree indoors just before Christ- mas and take it out as soon afterwards as possible (Dec, 26th is recommended.) The larger the tree the greater the hazard, so don't get one any larger than you need, Just before setting up the tree, saw off the trunk at an angle at least one inch above the original cut, Place the freshly cut tree trunk in water and keep level of water above the cut the entire time the tree is indoors, (Check the water level at least once a day for absorption and evaporation. ) Support the tree well, Don't put. it near the sources. of heat (fireplaces, radiators, etc,) or where, standing or fallen, it could block the way out of the room and out of the house in case of fire. 0-0-0
