Christmas trees can catch on fire, and although not rare, when they do happen, are “more likely to be serious,” says Susan McKelvey from the National Fire Protection Association.
How likely is it for a Christmas tree to catch fire?
According to the NFPA, nearly one in five Christmas tree fires start due to decorative lights. Before you start decorating, check your string lights for any frayed wires or other damage that could spark a fire. (Check out these additional tips on hanging holiday lights.) Turn lights off when you aren’t home.
How do I protect my Christmas tree from fire?
Make sure the tree is at least three feet away from any heat source, like fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents or lights. Make sure the tree is not blocking an exit. Add water to the tree stand daily. Use lights that are listed by a qualified testing laboratory.
