are real christmas trees a fire hazard

It's true that real Christmas trees can be a fire hazard if they're not properly taken care of. They can dry out and become highly flammable, making them a potential risk for starting a fire if they come in contact with a heat source like a candle or a hot light bulb. It's important to keep your Christmas tree watered and well-maintained to prevent it from drying out. You should also make sure to keep any open flames away from your tree, and keep it away from any sources of heat or electrical wires.
