Holiday Safety

·         Fresh trees are less likely to catch fire, so look for a tree with vibrant green needles that are hard to pluck and don’t break easily from its branches. The tree shouldn’t be shedding its needles readily.

·         Always place your tree away from heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights, and keep the tree base filled with water to avoid a dry out.

·         Make sure all your indoor and outdoor Christmas lights have been tested in a lab by the UL or ETL/ITSNA for safety and throw out any damaged lights.

·         Any lights you use outdoors must be labeled suitable for exterior placement and be sure to plug them into a ground-fault circuit interrupter protected receptacle.

·         Keep all your holiday candles away from your Christmas tree, surrounding furniture and décor.

·         Bedtime means lights off! ­ Don’t forget to turn your Christmas tree lights off each night.

Let’s make this holiday season safe and enjoyable. Thank you for making Price a great place to live.
