Fire and Safety Tips for Christmas Trees
published by tvineeth
12:35pm, Dec 13, 2012

A natural tree can become fully engulfed in flames and spread fire to the rest of the home if it is not properly cared for. Similar results can occur with artificial trees that are not fire retardant or inherently fire resistant.

Selection Tips
 Make certain the tree has a “healthy” green appearance and is not a shade of brown.
 While on the lot test the tree for dryness by shaking it vigorously or bumping the trunk on ground several times and observe for excessive needle loss especially at the
branch tips.

Suffolk County Storm Status Update: Shelters, Warming Centers
published by tvineeth
01:22pm, Nov 05, 2012

In flood zones for safety reasons, LIPA requires homeowners to provide an Authorization to Energize by an approved electrical inspection agency before they will re-energize homes. Given the large number of homes impacted by Hurricane Sandy, the process which LIPA requires to ensure public safety could leave a significant number of homes without power for an extended period of time.

Suffolk County is therefore coordinating with LIPA, FEMA, NYS and Towns to facilitate this inspection at no cost to homeowners in the affected areas.
