Prevent Christmas Tree Fire This Holiday Season

Did you know that fire departments respond to approximately 160 Christmas tree fires per year? Do not let a fire ruin your holiday.

A Christmas tree can become engulfed in less than one minute, causing property damage in 30 seconds. This property damage can range from smoke damage to structure damage.

5 ways to help prevent a Christmas tree fire are:

  1. Purchase a fresh cut Christmas tree, not a dry tree.
  2. Keep your Christmas tree at least 3 feet away from any heat source like wall heaters and fireplaces.
  3. Water your Christmas tree every day to keep it hydrated and fresh.
  4. Do not use damaged Christmas tree lights that have frayed cords.
  5. Make sure when you leave the house and go to bed that the light to your Christmas tree are off.
