City Fire Chief Urges Christmas Fire Safety
Fire Chief Lee Puckett warns trees and decorations can spark deadly fires. Freshly cut trees should be kept in water, saw off the trunk, avoid DIY flame retardants, place trees away from heat, and use UL labeled lights with checks for frayed wires. The Great Lakes lose about 43 trillion gallons of water to evaporation yearly.
