Officials say to make sure Christmas trees stay hydrated daily and extension cords aren’t overloaded.
They say a tree with a root ball is inherently safer because it stays hydrated longer and easier, as opposed to a cut tree, which dries out pretty quickly if you don't water it.
Keeping trees away from open flames is key. Officials say to make sure Christmas lights are listed and labeled correctly and to make sure homes have a safe pathway in and out in case of fire.
