The Consumer Product Safety Commission posted this video that shows how fast your Christmas tree can turn into a fireball if you forget to water it.

Here are a few more safety tips:

1.  Make sure your tree is at least 3 feet away from any heat sources, like radiators, fireplaces, and heating vents.

2.  Make sure none of the wires on your lights are frayed, always turn them off before you go to bed, and don’t plug too many things into the same outlet.

3.  Don’t leave your tree up too long.  Once a bunch of needles start falling off, it’s a major fire hazard.
