Fire officials are cautioning residents after it was discovered that a fatal fire in Oxford Mills was caused by a dry Christmas tree.
Following the fire that claimed the lives of four people back on January 10, the North Grenville Fire Service is providing tips for safe tree disposal.
Fire Prevention Officer Shannon Armitage says because of the pandemic, it’s been difficult for some to dispose of their trees as easily compared to past years.
“It’s smart to remove them right after the holidays,” she said. “Don’t store them in your garage or lean it against your house – if you’re not disposing of it right away, just keep it away from the house. In North Grenville, there are tons of farms that love getting trees for their animals.”
