Christmas Tree Safety Tips For You and Your Family During the Holiday

Millions of Americans set up Christmas trees for the holiday. In doing so, be sure they’re festive and not a fire hazard.

The Harrison Township Fire Department says keeping your tree watered is the real key to keeping it safe. Dry trees pose the biggest safety hazard. They say to fill up the base of the tree stand with water and check it daily to make sure it doesn’t dry out.

Also, make sure your tree is at least 3 feet away from any heat sources, such as fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights.
