HOLIDAY SAFETY FACTS

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), approximately one tenth of one percent (0.12%) of residential fires involve a Christmas Tree.
According to NFPA data, of all the Real Christmas Trees enjoyed during the holiday season, fewer than one-one thousandth of a percent (0.001%) are involved in a residential fire!
Christmas Trees are not as likely to be the first item ignited in residential fires as many other common household items:

newspapers and magazines 13 times more likely

boxes or bags 10 times more likely

curtains or drapes 9 times more likely

linens 8 times more likely

cleaning supplies 3 times more likely

clothing on a person 2 times more likely

_At NO time can a Real Christmas Tree START a fire. Ignition sources are always external.

Holiday Safety Measures

Select the freshest-looking Real Tree available. Make a fresh cut across the tree’s base and immediately place in water. Keep the tree’s water container full at all times, checking the water level daily.
Be extra careful with electricity, all open flames and other heat sources during the holidays.
Check all Christmas Tree lights, other electric decorations and electrical appliances for wear (frayed cords, for example). Do not use lights, decorations or appliances with worn electrical cords. Use only UL approved electrical decorations and extension cords.
Place the Christmas Tree well away from heat registers, space heaters, fire places, wood stoves, televisions, computer monitors and other heat sources.
Place the Christmas Tree clear of doors to keep the emergency escape route clear of trees, packages and furniture.
Unplug tree lights and other decorations when out of the room or sleeping.
