Careful With Real Christmas Tree

12/29/2021 (Permalink)

We at SERVPRO of Rochester and our employees hope that you and your loved ones had a joyous Christmas celebration!

There's nothing better than having a real Christmas tree. Each year I love the smell that the tree fills the house with and bright lights reminding of Christs' birth and His light in our lives along with the sentimental Christmas tree ornaments. 

I am never really ready to take down the Christmas tree, but when the needles fall off without anyone touching it, then I just know it's time. This year we want to remind you as you take down your real Christmas tree of a few things. 

1. Make sure to take off all the ornaments. There always seems to be that one that I miss. 

2. Make sure all lights and electrical cords are removed from the tree. 

3. Please consider recycling your Christmas tree to your local recycling center. When you recycle, you are giving them material to make mulch with for the following landscaping season. 

Keep in mind a dry tree that is to say is no longer drinking water, that it takes only 10 seconds to burn and spread to other parts of the room if a fire should start.

Have a blessed rest of 2021. If you find yourself with fire damage, call us. We have technicians standing by, literally, 24 hours a day to serve you.
