CHRISTMAS trees, lights and
other seasonal accessories can
create a magical and memorable
holiday. These sensible suggestions
from the Canadian Standards
Association will help ensure your
holiday memories remain magical.

* The base of natural green trees
should be kept in water. Check the
water level daily and add more as
required.

° All types of trees should be
kept away from fireplaces, heaters
and other sources of heat.

e Avoid fire hazards, declare the
tree a non-smoking area and keep
matches out of the hands of
children.

© Trees should not block exits.

* Never leave small children
alone with a Christmas tree.

e Never use electric light strings
on metallic trees. Instead, shine a
spot or floodlight for a colorful
effect. :

® Don’t leave the Christmas tree
lights on if no one is in the room.

TREE FIRE

© If a tree catches fire, do not
attempt to move the tree. If possi-
ble, put the fire out with an extin-
guisher. If not, evacuate the
building and call the fire depart-
meni.

*® Before you replace a bulb,
allow it to cool off and make sure
you unplug the light string.

Be sure to check that bulb
reflectors have insulation, con-
sisting of either plastic or another
non-metallic material, placed be-
tween the Jamp and the metal part
of the reflector.

Reflectors, which fit around the
bulbs, require CSA certification.
The reflector is often sold with the
Christmas light string. .

CHECK WIRING
¢ Before using any Christmas
tree lights or electric decoration,
-check all wiring, sockets and plugs
for fraying, cracks or loose con-
nections. If at all in doubt, replace
the old sets.
