are christmas tree lights a fire hazard

Christmas tree lights can be a fire hazard if they are not properly maintained and installed. Make sure to keep the lights away from flammable materials like tinsel, decorations, and other tree ornaments. Make sure the lights are certified for indoor use and have the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) label. Also, be sure to regularly check the lights for any frayed wires, loose bulbs, or other signs of damage. And always unplug the lights when you're not at home or when you're going to sleep.
