The Philadelphia Fire Department recommends the following tips for the proper care and maintenance of Holiday Trees:
- Select a moist fresh tree, bend the end of a branch and make sure it flexes and doesn't snap off.
- Make a 1-inch fresh cut at the base of the tree.
- Place tree firmly in the stand with plenty of room for water.
- Check electrical cords for wear and outlets for overloading.
- Never leave lighted trees unattended.
- Don't let the tree block exits or stairs.
- Keep the tree away from portable heaters and other heat sources.
- The tree should be free of ornaments and decorations before disposal or recycle.
