Please follow these important safety tips as we approach the holiday season.

If using a natural tree, make sure it’s well watered. If using an artificial tree, make sure it’s labeled fire resistant. Anchor your tree to the wall.
Discard any decorations that are worn out or damaged.
Consider using flame-less candles.
Do not run electrical cords under furniture and rugs.
Consider having a qualified electrician add more outlets to your home rather than using extension cords.
Always turn off your decorations and tree when you leave your home and when you’re sleeping.
Keep poisonous plants out of reach of pets and children.
Keep the following foods away from pets – turkey bones, chocolate, raisins, grapes, onions, garlic and candy.
