Christmas tree fires occur in January

For many December 25 is just a memory.  But, for some celebrants, Christmas trees still light up homes and businesses.  There’s potential danger, warns the National Fire Protection Association.  It strongly encourages everyone to keep the festive memories and remove the hazards by disposing of Christmas trees promptly.  Chief Richie Caudill of the Seneca Fire Department agrees.  One-third (33%) of U-S home fires involving Christmas trees occur in January.
