Real, live Christmas trees are pretty and it’s nice to have that pine smell in your house, but those trees are a huge fire hazard.
The Tulsa Fire Department demonstrated how live trees can go up in flames in a matter of seconds.
Firefighters say about a week without water can dry out a tree enough to make it very prone to catch fire. They don’t spontaneously combust, of course, but firefighters mentioned some typical causes of these types of fires.
Candles, bad wiring and space heaters are common causes of tree fires.
Watch the video below and see for yourself just how fast flames can spread.
