Seven Safety Rules for Christmas Trees

This season, keep your home safe from some common Christmas-tree hazards by heeding these important tips from the National Safe Kids Campaign:
1. Never place your tree near a heat source, such as a fireplace or portable heater.
2. If you have small children or pets, trim the lower branches to avoid eye injuries.
3. Hang all ornaments that are breakable, have small, detachable parts or metal hooks, or that look like food or candy on higher branches where small children can't reach them. Florist's wire, which can be twisted firmly around branches, is a great way to hang fragile ornaments.

4. Keep pets out of the room in which the tree is placed, especially if you can't be there to supervise. Cats are notorious for leaping onto Christmas trees, especially when pursued by another pet. Keep the tree from toppling by tying it to a ceiling hook. Both cats and dogs can knock down and break glass ornaments, then cut themselves on the pieces. Pets may also gnaw on electrical cords for Christmas-tree lights. Hide cords when possible, or help prevent injury by purchasing a pet-proof conduit, which will enclose cords and wires.
5. Avoid using artificial snow sprays, which can cause lung irritation if inhaled.
6. Turn off tree lights when you go to bed or leave the house. Use only UL-approved electrical decorations and extension cords, and check that no cords have frayed since you last used the lights.
7. Never burn Christmas-tree branches in your fireplace. It can cause the buildup of creosote, a highly flammable compound.
