Suggests Council Pass By- Law Fire Chief Harvey Mahaffy Says: Make It A Safe Christmas _The bustle of preparation of Christmas, and the cheery gatherings associated with this holiday season may pose a deadly threat to the lives of small children, Fire Chief Harvey Mahaffy warns. "Many activities at this time of year may tempt parents to leave small child: ren unattended. Even though the intention may be to "slip out" for a few minutes only a few seconds may be needed to turn a happy holiday into family tragedy. Trees, 'wrap-, ping paper and decorations bring an increased risk of fire unless constant care is exer- cised," says the Chief. The Chief points out that the Criminal Code of Canada forbids such negligence which may endanger: the life or reminds parents that under certain conditions a Christ- mas tree can be ignited by a single match, to burn furiously. Trees should be bought green, and kept with their fresh-cut | butts immersed in water dur- ing their stay in the home. "Enjoy this happy season," he says. "but make sure that Christmas cheer does not bring a careless attitude to fire risks."
