HERALD AMI NEWS. Klamith Filli. Oregna Tnurod.y. I)iiihr U, 1M PAGE-7A KF Chief Issues Reminder To Public On Fire Hazards Of Christmas Trees The Klamath Kalis Fire De partment today issued its an nua! warning tn the public about the fire hazards cf Christ, mas trees and decorations. Fire Chief Ceno Cheller said most natural trees are cut well in advance of their use and therefore dry out and become readily combustible. He advised that to reduce the hazard to a minimum, persiws using these natural trees should saw them off at an angle, at least one inch above the origin al cut and stand them in wa ter for the period of thfir use. The water level should be kept ahove the cut. Gheller said that persons pur-j-hasins; natural trees should OSU Lists Enrollment CORVALUS-Klamath Coun ty is represented by im stu dents at Oregon State Univer sity.

Despite the claims of manu facturers, Gheller said, it has been found that external flame retardant treatments of trees by the user are generally not prac ticable. To be of any use, he said, the retardants must coat every needle cf every branch, a difficult thing to accomplish. From a safety viewpoint, Gheller pointed out, metal trees are the best because they won't burn. He said there is virtually no fare hazard with the use of such trees, but there is some danger of them becoming charged with electricity from light fittings. He suggested that metal trees be illuminated by lights not connected to the tree, j such as spotlights. : Another type of tree that has become popular in recent years is the plastic or metal-coated plastic trees. Gheller said the purchasers of these trees should make sure that they are constructed of material that does not bum rap idly. If lights are to be at tached to the plastic tree, it must be determined that the limbs will not conduct electricity- Turning from trees to tree decorations, Gheller said there has boon an increasing tenden cy to use "flock" to simulate snow on Christmas trees. Most 1 of this flock consists of tiny CALL OFF STRIKE DUBLIN (UPD - Four wom en called off their 48-hour hun ger strike Wednesday night when one of them collapsed from exhaustion. They were protesting alleged failure of the city to provide them with living quarters after their homes were condemned as unsafe. The women had barricaded themselves in an army barracks. pieces of raon filters to which flame-retardants and adhesives' have been added. Gheller said that if the flock is not flame-retardant, this "snow" can make an otherw ise safe tree dangerous. Commercial "angel's hair" and spray-on "snow" do not in dividually introduce any addi tional fire hazards to trees, but if "angel hair" is applied to the tree and followed by a coat of "snow." the result may be comtibstible. He said in such cases, the "snow" should be ap plied first, th?n "angel's hair" added second. Gheller repealed the annu al warning against the use of wax candles on trees. He' said lighting sets should be checked for fraying w ires before use and that extensive holiday home lighting should be done by a competent electrician. Christ mas lights should be turned off before the householder leaves his house or goes to bed. Throughout the htxe. Ghel ler advised, non-combustible materials should be used for decoration. He particularly warned against the use of poly styrene foam, which burns and melts if brought near heat. 7Ti ii m ill WATIRFIU Spiff t Mfflain:TOrSB we mean!
