Avoid Christmas Fire Damage

- 2011-12-05 10:50:56

Every year residents of Chicago hear the stories of homes that burn to the ground because of live Christmas tree fires. Be safe this year by following some simple tips.

First, make sure you water your live Christmas tree DAILY. A 6-7 foot tree will drink at least 1-2 cups of water daily.
Check the water level daily. Some homes are very dry during the winter and the water will evaporate quickly.
Never water 'the' tree, but rather pour the water into the base that it sits in.
Never leave your home with the Christmas tree lights still on. Turn it off before you leave.
Make sure you have a smoke alarm close to your tree and you have an escape route in case it goes off. Christmas trees can virtually explode into flames before you could do anything about it.
Make sure the Christmas lights are not old and damaged. Replace them when they look worn or if you're not sure.

Merry Christmas Chicago!
