Sure, you know about keeping hydrated during the summer months while you exercise and work outdoors but did you know that you need to keep your Christmas trees hydrated also?

NIST, the National Institute for Standards and Technology, has done extensive work on this subject. Check out their videos (which you can download) at http://www.fire.nist.gov/tree_fire.htm or you can view it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNjO3wZDVlA
