Christmas tree in flames by Dominika Nagyova

Fallbrook firefighters put out the fire on Gird Road on Monday. The damage was probably caused by a Christmas tree, which was situated too close to a fireplace. The fire was only in one part of house. Other ones are quite in good condition; there was just a smoke from the blaze. Fortunately, John Buchanan of the North County Fire Protection District said, that no one was hurt. On the other side, the damage is estimated to $50,000. The tips how to keep your house from the fire are following: Choose artificial tree tested and labeled as fire resistant. Artificial trees with built-in electrical systems should have the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) label. Use only indoor lights indoors and outdoor lights only outdoors Switch off all lights when you go to bed or leave the house. Enjoy the Christmas-day warmth, not the Christmas tree fire.
