Christmas trees, in particular, are a traditional part of the season. And although they are special, trees pose a de nite safety risk.

If you're using a natural tree this year reduce the risk of a tree re by taking the following precautions.

• Choose a freshly cut green tree, not one that has dried out through weeks of storage. If you are buying one from a tree lot, tap the trunk on the ground; if several needles fall off, it's too dry. Needles that bend and are not easily pulled off indicate a fresh tree. Consider a potted Christmas tree so you can plant it in your yard once the holidays are over. • Before setting it up, cut two inches diagonally off the butt. The tree will draw water more easily from a fresh cut. • Stand the tree in a tub or bucket of water and keep the tree trunk immersed to prevent the tree from drying out. • Select a safe location for the tree, away from drapes and curtains and from drying and heating sources such as registers, radiators and television sets. Don't block doors or windows which might be used to escape in an emergency and never put a tree near a replace! • Use a tree-stand with widespread legs for better balance and a large water reserve in which to immerse the tree butt. Check the water level every day and add more as required. • Check your Christmas lights for defects. Spread them out on a non-  ammable surface before installing them. Make sure there are no broken bulbs, all electrical cords are free of cuts or frays and the plugs are in good condition. • Extension cords should never be placed under carpets or where they could be a tripping hazard. • Don't leave the Christmas tree lights on if there is no one in the room. • If the tree begins to lose an excessive amount of needles, remove it immediately. • Never burn your tree in the fi replace!  These safety tips will help prevent your Christmas holiday plans from going up in smoke!  The Contact Newspaper The CONTACT is an unof cial publication of 8 Wing/CFB Trenton.

ASTRA, ON, K0K 3W0 December 15, 2017 News 5 - The Contact Behind the scenes with 412 Transport Squadron in The Ottawa-based squadron falls under 8 Wing Trenton and is primarily tasked with providing VIP transportation for government and military officials. 12 Transport Squadron mem- 4bers say due to the nature of their job, they often times will spend more time in the air than on the ground. Whether it’s helping transport the Prime Minister or bringing an ill or injured member back from deployment, the close-knit trans- portation crew is always on the move. But despite being located in the Country’s capital, 412 Transport Squadron is very much an inte- gral part of 8 Wing Trenton says Wing Commander Colonel (Col.) Mark Goulden. While visiting the Ottawa-based squadron on Dec. 11, Col. Goul- den took the time to thank the members for their service and re- iterated his support for the work they do. “You’re the face of the Air Force when it comes to the Wing and what we do supporting the gov- ernment,” he said. “I hear acco- lades like you wouldn’t believe that come to me almost on a daily basis. You do an outstanding job.” While primarily tasked with pro- viding air transport to Canada’s high-ranking officials and foreign dignitaries, the squadron is also capable of other transport mis- sions like medical evacuations.
