As <br />you deck the halls this season, be fire smart: <br />Inspect holiday lights each year before you put <br />them up. Throw away light strands with frayed or <br />pinched wires. You can also take old lights to the <br />Center of Hard to Recycle Materials (see page 4). <br />• Water your Christmas tree every day. A dry tree <br />is dangerous because it can catch on fire easily. <br />Make sure your tree is at least 3 feet away from <br />heat sources like fireplaces, radiators, space heat- <br />ers, candles or heat vents. Also, make sure your tree <br />does not block exits. <br />Consider using battery -operated flameless candles, <br />which can look, smell and feel like real candles. <br />If you do use lit candles, make sure they are in <br />stable holders and place them where they cannot <br />be knocked down easily. Christmas is the peak day <br />for candle fires. <br />Visit www.usfa.fema.gov for more information and free <br />fire -safety resources. <br />Don't forget! <br />Disposable <br />Bag Tax <br />In Effect January 1, 2022 <br />LouisvilleCO.gov/BagTax <br />Page 10 • Winter 2021-22 <br />
