TWO MINUTES TO BURN
Salem Insurance Agents
Warn of Christmas Tree Fires
Your Christmas tree can turn in an instant from a symbol of
happiness to a blazing torch capable of destroying you and your
family if proper fire prevention measures are not taken, accord
ing to the Salem Association of Insurance Agents.
Remember, the insurance agents say, there are no nre-proot
Christmas trees.
Two minutes is all that is re
quired for the average Christ
mas tree to burn up and once
started, the blaze is almost im
possible to extinguish, as the
high resin and pitch content are
perfect material for fire.
Each year, hundreds of homes
are turned into scenes of trag
edy at Christmas time by burn
ing trees, candles, defective tree
lights and cotton "snow".
However, by using these sim
ple rules, your tree will be safe:
1. Never use candles; 2. See
that the electric wiring is not
frayed; 3. Light the tree only
when the house is occupied;
4. Use only non - inflammable
tree decorations; 5. Do not plug
or unplug your light directly
under the tree.
House decorations, if inflam
mable, should be kept above
