Dear Reader:

This is my site and reflects my opinion. It is intended to offer ideas, examples and suggestions. It is not saying that I am right and you are wrong. This is a big world and EMCOMM is at least a little different in every locale. I am trying to discuss issues and uncover best practices. If you do things differently or have questions or comments, please share and help educate us all.

Do You Really Need A Christmas Tree?

This is a film of a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) test showing just how flammable a dry Christmas tree can become. Last year, in my community, we had a tree fire that killed an 18-year-old woman and sent two young children to the Shriner’s burn unit in Sacramento.

Please, if you have a Christmas tree this holiday, keep it watered and dispose of it as soon as possible. Learn more>>

(I’ve seen this film so many times now that I won’t have a real tree in my house.)
