As you Deck the Halls this Season, be Fire Smart

This is your reminder to water your Christmas tree, so our firefighters don't have to! The holidays are busy, and this simple task is easy to overlook, but it’s essential to water your Christmas tree daily. A dry tree is dangerous because it can catch on fire more easily. The U.S. Fire Administration also advises keeping your Christmas tree away from heat sources and room exits.
