| Home Safety Tips: Holiday Decorating |
| • When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness. A fresh tree is green, its needles are hard to pull from branches, and needles do not break when bent. When setting up a tree at home, place it away from heat sources and any type of flames. Monitor water levels and keep the tree stand filled with water. |
| • For indoor or outdoor decorating, only use lights that have been rated for the intended use and tested for safety by a recognized testing laboratory. Always unplug tree and holiday lights before leaving home or going to bed. |
| • Keep burning candles within sight and away from trees, curtains or decorations. Always extinguish candles before leaving the room or going to bed. |
| • Test your smoke alarms every month and replace batteries at least once a year. |
