Assemblyman John
S. Wisniewski (D-19,
Middlesex),Chair of the New
Jersey Fire Safety Commis-
sion today released the fol-
lowing column reminding
residents of the increased risk
of home ires over the holiday season and highlighting steps
they can take to reduce such
risks.
News Release
SAYREVILLE – The holiday
season should be a time of joy.
But each year, ires caused by Christmas trees and holiday
decorations bring tragedy to
families all across the country.
Research by the US Fire Ad-
ministration shows a signii-
cant rise in ires and the dan-
ger of ires during the holiday season.
In recent years, the U.S. has
averaged more than 200 ires each year that began with
a Christmas tree or holiday
lighting, many resulting in
death or injuries. But there are
simple steps that families can
take to substantially reduce
the risk of a ire over the holi-days.
Remember Fire Safety This Holiday Season The Christmas tree is a sym-
bol of the holiday season for
many, but if not properly se-
lected and handled, it is a ma-
jor ire hazard. Those who use an artiicial tree should ensure that the tree is lame retardant. For those using real ever-
greens as part of your holiday
décor, you can take these steps
to increase safety and prevent
a Christmas tree ire:• Make sure your tree is fresh when purchased. If needles are
brittle or easily shed, choose a
different tree.
• When setting the tree up in your home, place it at least
three feet away from any heat
source. In addition to a ire place, stay away from radia-
tors, heating vents and light-
ing. These can dry out a tree
and increase its lammability. • Keep your tree stand illed with water at all times.
• Do not leave your tree up for an extended period. Fire safety
professionals recommend you
do not leave it up any longer
than two weeks.
• When you dismantle your tree, discard it immediately
and properly. Do not leave it
in a garage, on a porch or at
the side of a house. A dried out
tree is highly lammable and can still cause major damage
from these locations. Check
with your local community for
a recycling program or other
disposal options.
In addition to the Christmas
tree, holiday lighting repre-
sents another major ire hazard but, again, simple steps can
greatly reduce the risk.
• Always make sure your lights have the label of an indepen-
dent testing laboratory such
as Underwriters Laboratories
(UL). Such organizations care-
fully test products to ensure
safety and reliability.
• Replace any lights with worn or broken cords or loose bulb
connections. These are haz-
ards that can ignite a ire.• Avoid stringing together too many strands of lights. In gen-
eral, that means no more than
3 strands of mini lights or 50
screw-in bulbs but remember
that LED lighting can burn
hotter and may have greater
restrictions. Check the manu-
facturer’s instructions for
proper use.
• Never leave Christmas tree lights on if the tree is unattend-
ed. Unplug them when you go
to bed or leave the home.
In celebrating the holidays
you should also avoid using lit
candles in the house and never
use them on a tree. If you do
use them in the house, make
sure they are in stable holders,
place them where they cannot
easily be knocked over and
never leave them unattended.
Finally, make sure your
smoke alarms and carbon
monoxide detectors are oper-
ating properly.
Each year at the holiday
season, there are always news
stories of families whose holi-
days were turned into a trag-
edy because of ire. Don’t let your family suffer such a fate.
Take these common sense pre-
cautions to help protect you
and your family.
My wish for everyone is for
a festive and safe holiday sea-
son.

Sandy Hook Elementary School Newtown, Connecticutand teachers, including the
murderer’s mother. Lord have
mercy, Christ have mercy!
We along with President
Barack Obama are moved to
tears by this tragedy. As people
we are touched and as parents
and neighbors we grieve. As a
shepherd, I too grieve because
there are too many senseless
acts of violence. Lord have
mercy, Christ have mercy and
please, stop the funerals!
There are so many guns,
so many unstable minds, so
many horriic tragedies and so little respect for life. Colo-
rado, Oregon, now Connecti-

Our prayers and hearts go out
to these families who lost their
loved ones and to all members
of the Newtown, Connecticut

lowered to half-staff in re-
spect for the victims. Signs
are placed throughout all
buildings and entryways en-
couraging all to “pray for our
children.” Lord have mercy,
Christ have mercy!

To be said when problems
arise or when one seems to be
deprived of all visible help, or for cases almost despaired of.
Most holy Apostle, St. Jude,
faithful servant and friend of
Jesus, the name of the traitor
who delivered our beloved
Father into the hands of His
enemies has caused you to
be forgotten by many, but the
Church honors and invokes
you universally, as the patron
and invokes you universally,
as the patron of hopeless cas-
es, of things almost despaired
of. Pray for me, I am so help-
less and alone. Make use I
implore you, of that particular
privilege given to you, to bring
visible and speedy help where
help is almost despaired of.
Come to my assistance in this
great need that I may receive
the consolation and help of
heaven in all my necessities,
tribulations and sufferings,
particularly (Here make your
request) and that I may praise
God with you and all the elect
forever. I promise, O blessed
St. Jude, to be ever mindful
of this great favor, to always
honor you as my special and
powerful patron, and to grate-
fully encourage devotion to
you. Amen. E.M.T.
