Cause of Christmas Tree Fires

A common reason is due to electrical problems. There have been many instances where an extension cord has failed while under pressure of an object and caused a fire.

Prevent Christmas Tree Fires

With real trees there are many precautions and care that needs to be given. Watering the Christmas tree daily is necessary to prevent water level dropping below the cut end of the tree. Dry trees are the biggest culprit in these fires because they can burn faster than newspaper, causing the fire to spread rapidly.

Safety Tips

• Making sure string lights have no loose connections
• Use a single extension cord that is not longer than needed
• Use UL- approved lights
• Turn off lights before bed
• Water the tree daily
• Keep candles away from the tree.
