Cal Fire reminds us that Faulty lights and placing heat sources too close to a Christmas tree are among the leading causes of tree fires during the holidays. Once a fire starts, it can quickly spread, endangering gifts, curtains, your entire home, and your loved ones.
Follow these tips to help ensure a safe holiday season:
• Pick a fresh tree with vibrant, green needles.
• Regularly water your tree to prevent it from drying out.
• Avoid setting up the tree near fireplaces, radiators, or heating vents.
• Use only undamaged, tree-approved lights.
• Turn off holiday lights before going to sleep or leaving the home.
