Hi, I am Patsieann Misiti with the Alexandria Fire Department in Alexandria, Virginia. We have been talking to you about holiday safety and winter preparedness. Now, we are going to talk about tree ornaments.

Make sure to always use a proper stool or step ladder to reach high places. Read labels before you use anything that comes from a jar, can or spray can.
