How to prevent Christmas tree fires this holiday season
Briefly

Christmas tree fires, though rare, can be deadly; this highlights the importance of proper tree care and decoration to ensure safety during the holiday season.
Choosing a tree with green needles is crucial. If it has brown needles, it indicates dryness, increasing the risk of flammability and fire hazards.
Keeping the tree well-watered is essential. The water temperature should be suitable, and adding sugar can help maintain tree moisture and prevent needle drop.
Regularly inspect Christmas lights for damage; frayed wires or worn-out lamps should be replaced. Also, always unplug lights when leaving home or going to sleep.
