Public Advisory: ‘Tis the Season to Practice Fire Safety Justice and Public Safety December 10, 2020... The Department of Justice and Public Safety continues its ‘Tis the Season to Practice Fire Safety campaign by providing tips on how to protect yourself and your family this holiday season. Choosing a real Christmas tree is a staple of the holiday season for families in Newfoundland and Labrador. Before you start ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’, here are some tips to help protect your property and loved ones from potential hazard: * When choosing a real tree, ensure it is fresh and the needles do not drop when touched; * Ensure the tree is placed a safe distance (minimum one metre) from any sources of heat; * Always make a fresh cut about two inches from the base of the trunk before placing the tree in its stand; * Add water to the tree stand daily to slow the drying out process and reduce the risk of fire; and * Dispose of your tree properly as soon as possible after the holidays, before it dries out. Once a week during December, the department is issuing a Public Advisory to ensure residents keep fire safety top-of-mind as they celebrate the holidays. Follow @JPS_GovNL on Twitter for more safety tips. The Department of Justice and Public Safety wishes all residents a safe and happy holiday season. 30 Media contact Danielle Barron Justice and Public Safety 709-729-5188, 691-2944 [email protected] 2020 12 10 9:35 am
