Safety Rules For Christmas Trees From Ontario Institute
The Ontario Industrial Accident Prevention Association lists care steps for a safe Christmas tree. Buy a fresh tree or one not dried out, keep it in water or snow until use, bring it indoors just before decoration, and remove it promptly after holidays. Delay increases fire risk. Cut the trunk at an angle above the original, place in water, and maintain water level while indoors.
