When choosing your Christmas tree.. - Get a freshly cut tree. It will stay green longer and be less of a fire hazard. Try to pick a tree with a strong green color and noticeable fragrance. - Place the tree in a stand that will hold two to three litres of water and top it up daily. Use a stand with widespread legs for better balance. - Place your tree away from heat sources such as a fireplace, television, a sunny window or heat vent. Shorts in electrical lights or open flames... from candles, lighters or matches start tree fires. - Never put tree branches or needles in a fireplace or wood-burning stove. Do not go near a Christmas tree with an open flame. - Consider an artificial tree (they are safer and much cleaner). If you are using a metallic or artificial tree, make sure it is flame retardant.

Special fire safety precautions need to be taken when keeping a live tree in the house. A burning tree can rapidly fill a room with fire and deadly gases. Visit the link to see the Christmas tree fire video.

There is often a tendency to overload wall outlets during the holiday season and it is a fire hazard. Overloading electrical outlets is unsafe and should be avoided even for short durations. - Inspect all cords before using; make sure they are CSA certified. Read the labels and manufacturer's instructions to ensure proper use. - Look for loose connections or frayed or exposed wire. Discard any defective cords. - Insert plugs fully into outlets. Poor contact may cause overheat...ing or shock. - Do not coil or bunch an extension cord that is in use and do not run it under carpets or rugs. - Never use indoor extension cords outside. - Keep outdoor electrical connectors above ground and out of puddles and snow. - Be careful when placing cords behind or beneath furniture; pinched cords can cause them to fray and even short out.

Candles.. - Never leave burning candles unattended. - Place candles away from absolutely anything that could catch fire. - Use tea lights or votive candles in non-combustible containers as they are generally safer than tapers. - Burn candles only under the supervision of a responsible adult.... - Place candles where they will not be knocked down and put them in sturdy holders on a stable surface, well away from drafts, curtains, children and pets. - Snuff out all candles before leaving the room or going to sleep. - Never put lit candles on a Christmas tree.

Fireplaces.. - Never burn gift wrapping, boxes, cartons, or other types of packaging in the fireplace. They burn too rapidly and generate far too much heat. - Don't hang Christmas stockings from the mantel when the fireplace is in use. - Always use a screen in front of the fireplace to protect against flying sparks. - Never use gasoline or any other flammable liquids to start a fire.... - Use only small quantities of seasoned and dried wood. - Never leave the fire unattended or let it smolder. - Remove ashes regularly. - Place the ashes in a metal container and store outside away from flammable materials. - Don't use Christmas trees for firewood.
