HOLIDAY DECORATIONS: SAFETY & STAYING GREEN
Safety First!
For those tenants who wish to decorate their suites with Holiday trees or wreath, please review the following requirements:
- All trees must be wrapped in plastic until you arrive to your suite.
- The use of candles is strictly forbidden.
- Please do not affix or attach anything to sprinkler heads.
- Turn off all Holiday tree lights when you leave at the end of each day.
- Trees and wreaths shall be treated and maintained in a flame-retardant condition, tagged, and certified. Trees and wreaths shall be maintained so that they will not support combustion.
- Application of the flame retardant must be done by a certified applicator. All flame retardant applicators shall be registered with the State Fire Marshall.
- All Christmas trees shall be kept and maintained in such a manner that the butt or bottom of the trunk is immersed in at least two (2) inches of water at all times. Immediately prior to such immersion, the trunk shall be cut off at least one (1) inch above the original cut.
- No combustible materials shall be placed on, under, or within four (4) feet of the maximum horizontal projection of any Christmas tree.
- No Christmas tree or decorations shall be displayed in such a manner as to impede or encumber any means of egress.
- No Christmas tree shall be displayed for a period of more than thirty (30) days after the date of the flame-retardant application.
- Electrical decorations on trees and wreaths shall be UL Listed devices.
In kurz: und wenn auch nur ein (1) Lichtlein brennt, dann pennst du Weihnachten im Knast.
God bless America!
