how to prevent christmas tree fires

1. Keep the tree away from heat sources such as fireplaces, space heaters, or radiators. Place it at least three feet away from any heat source. 2. Water the tree daily, making sure the stand is always filled with water. This keeps the tree from drying out and becoming a fire hazard. 3. Inspect the tree for any loose or missing needles. If there are any, remove them and discard them in a trash can outside. 4. Use only non-flammable decorations and lights on the tree.
