Good Sense Promotes Safe Christmas Tree Use
Lincoln families are urged to combine festive decorating with safety. University of Nebraska Extension safety expert Rollin Schneider warns about fire and electrical risks from faulty lights, torn insulation, and unsafe placement. Use UL labeled lights, place switches away from the tree, and avoid indoor outlets under the tree. Keep children away from the base and separate decorations like snow spray and angel hair. Never mix tinsel with hot lights and use off the tree spotlights for metal trees.
