Trim a Safe Tree
1. When purchasing an artificial tree, look for the label “Fire Resistant.”
2. When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness. A fresh tree is green, needles are hard to pull from branches and do not break when bent between your fingers.
3. When setting up a tree at home, place it away from heat sources. Monitor water levels and keep the stand filled with water.
4. In homes with small children, take special care to avoid sharp, weighted or breakable decorations, keep trimmings with small removable parts out of the reach of children who could swallow or inhale small pieces.
