Festive but Fire Safe Rules for Holiday Decorations
Home safety guidance from the National Board of Fire Underwriters covers holiday decor. It warns against placing the Christmas tree by the fireplace, using cotton or paper, and recommends nonflammable aluminum foil at the tree base and outdoors storage until near Christmas. It advises using a live tree in dirt, avoiding candles, and keeping wreaths away from open flames. Wiring should be checked, avoid overloading outlets, and lights should not burn more than 30 minutes at a stretch. A metal screen protects mantels for stockings, and trees must be kept watered with the trunk in a bucket while monitored.
