Verkhnedvinsk Regional Department for Emergency Situations reminds about safety when installing a New Year tree!

The Christmas tree must stand on a stable base and be securely fastened so that it cannot be knocked over by small children or a cat that suddenly decides to play with the decorations.

 

The Christmas tree should be placed away from heating radiators and electrical appliances. The most suitable location is a corner away from the passageway. There, the tree will not be in anyone's way. With such a safety measure, you can be sure that even if the tree is bumped during children's play, it will not fall and injure anyone.

Candlesticks with candles should not be placed near the Christmas tree. Any careless movement can lead to a fire.

Do not make "snow" out of cotton wool or any other flammable substances: a stray sparkler can set the entire structure ablaze.

When decorating a Christmas tree, do not use candles: open flames can become an unpleasant "highlight" of the holiday. Refrain from making your own ornaments from easily flammable materials.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
