Pickup options for old Christmas Trees

Medford, Ore — With the Christmas holiday over it may be tempting to neglect our Christmas Trees.

According to the national fire protection association, more than 200 home fires start each year due to dry Christmas Trees.

Firefighters stress the importance of a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm, especially during the holidays.
