A MESSAGE FROM OUR CHIEF
John Muhr
-
Natural trees should be cut at a 45-degree angle that maximizes the availability for water to soak into the tree trunk.
-
Place your tree in an area far away from heating sources such as a heating vents, or kitchen cooking areas.
-
Use only non-flammable Christmas decorations and ornaments
-
If lighting is placed on a tree, ensure it is Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved.
-
Inspect all lighting on a tree prior to use to make sure it is serviceable.
-
Never leave lights on while the tree is unattended (including nighttime when adults are asleep).
-
Ensure to use tree stands for your live tree that provides water in the base, and keep them full at all times.
-
And lastly, NEVER keep a live tree that has been allowed to dry; they are extremely flammable.
