Holiday Hazards: Christmas Tree Fire Safety Demonstration

Live Christmas Trees and the Risk of Home Fires

No one wants to spoil the holiday season, but Christmas trees in the home can present a fire safety issue. A primary concern with a Christmas tree is fire danger, often brought on by the combination of electrical malfunctions and, in the case of a real tree, a drying tree.

This live Christmas tree burn conducted by the U.S Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) shows just how fast a dried out Christmas tree fire burns.

SERVPRO of Upper Darby, PA wishes you a safe and Merry Christmas.
