SAFETY DURING YOUR FESTIVE SEASON

A Fire Department is maintained

for the purpose of saving lives and
property in the community it serves.
One of the best ways of accomplish-
ing this is by PREVENTING as many
fires as possible - lives and pro-
perty are never lost in fires that

de not happen,

During this Festive Season,
please be careful of Fire Hazards.

1. Do NOT smoke in bed.

2. Turn out tree lights before re-
tiring or leaving your home.

3. Remove wrapping paper from your
home as soon as possible.

4, Empty your ash trays often, out-
side, not in inside garbage collect-
ors.

5. Provide amle ashtrays for your-
selves and guests.

6. Do NOT overload electrical
circuits.

Give specific instructions to
your baby sitters in the event of a
Fire Emergency.

Bubbling tree lights contain
Methylene Chloride - poisonous if
ingested.

Also: Fire salts, used to make
coloured flames on burning logs con-
tain Metalic compounds - toxic if
eaten or if fumes are inhaled.

Another Fire Hazard: Mixing
angel hair and snow spray on a tree.
Both items are advertised es non-
flamable. In combination they be-
come so flammable that a touch of
flame sends them into a burst of
fire.

Because holiday decorations
make this an intensified fire hazard
season, work out and rehearse a fam-
ily fire escape plan,

Nothing kills holiday joy like
a ride to the hospital emergency
room - or a need to call out the
Fire Department.
