Nothing says "holiday cheer" like a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, but let’s make sure it stays safe and sound. Here are some quick tips to prevent your tree from becoming a fire hazard: 🌟 Water, Water, Water! A dry tree can catch fire faster than you can say “Jingle Bells.” Keep your live tree hydrated daily. 🌟 Mind the Distance: Make sure your tree is at least 3 feet away from fireplaces, space heaters, and any other heat sources. 🌟 Inspect the Lights: Check for frayed wires or broken bulbs on your string lights before decorating. 🌟 Turn Off the Glow: Always unplug your tree lights before leaving the house or going to bed. Keep your holidays safe and full of joy! A little prevention goes a long way in making this season magical. ✨ #HolidaySafety #FirePrevention #DreamProtectors #JulieCooverKC #TeamCoover
