Christmas Tree Fire Facts

12/10/2021 (Permalink)

Did you know that firefighters respond to around 160 home fires that are started by Christmas trees? According to the National Fire Protection Association, nearly half of those fires are caused by electrical distribution and lighting equipment. 

Some facts about Christmas Tree Fires; they cause around 10 million in property damage per year, 15% of fires are intentional, and 22% are caused by a heat source being too close to the tree. Having a dry tree greatly increases the chance of a Christmas tree fire. Make sure to keep your live tree well watered to avoid the lights starting a fire.
