RE: Mandatory Flameproofing of Yuletide Trees

The attached fire regulations are offered in the sincere hope that your holiday 
season will be safe, as well as enjoyable.  Please pay particular attention to 
the regulation that requires flame-retardant certification for all yuletide trees 
and other cut greenery displayed in indoor areas frequented by employees or the 
general public on the Davis campus and at UCDHS.  

To comply with this regulation:

Davis campus units need to call the Operations & Maintenance Department:
Paint Shop (530-752-5417 or 752-4570) to schedule a time beginning November
28 until December 16, for flame-retardant treatment and certification.  

At UCDHS, flameproofing and certification can be obtained at the Facilities Support 
Services Building (916-734-5667) from 7:00 A.M. until 3:00 P.M., Monday through 
Friday, from November 28 through December 16.  There will be no charge for this 
service at either location, but only trees and greenery intended for use within 
University facilities will be treated.

Compliance is also strongly urged within student residence areas on campus.
Student residents may bring trees to the Paint Shop for treatment during the times 
mentioned above.

If you have any questions regarding compliance with these regulations, call the 
Davis campus Fire Department: Fire Prevention Office at (530) 752-1236 or the 
UCDHS Fire Prevention Office at (916) 734-3036.
