ONTARIO
As the threat of wildfires has diminished with the onset of colder temperatures, a new threat looms for winter: house fires.
Ontario Fire Chief Terry Leighton said holidays are top of mind for him this time of year.
âThe first thing that comes to mind is Christmas trees and lights,â he said.
Leighton said the National Fire Academy is widely circulating a public safety message about how trees only take âa few seconds to take off.â
Two keys Leighton stresses for safe-keeping of indoor Christmas trees: âstay watered â donât let them get dry, and keep them away from heating appliances.â
