No matter whether you purchased your tree two weeks ago or two days ago if it is a real tree it must be watered to avoid having a fire hazard in your home.
Dublin Fire Brigade has issued a stark warning to homeowners this Christmas over a mistake made with real trees that could prove fatal.
The Dublin Fire Brigade wrote on Twitter: “If you have bought a real Christmas Tree it may be starting to dry out by now.“Are you watering it? We don't mean with a watering can, but from a base designed to allow for the tree to absorb water from its base.Dublin City Council published the following advice to avoid any destructive and dangerous incidents due to Christmas Trees.You should always check for a genuine CE mark when you are buying.
If you choose to buy online from an auction site or company which is unfamiliar to you, you may be compromising your consumer rights and warranty. You may also be risking your safety, because the product may not reach the safety standards that you expect. If you choose a real tree, use it with a base that allows for watering of the tree. This will keep the tree hydrated, greener, shed less, last longer, and more resistant to fire.
