burn demonstration was held Wednesday at the Monmouth County Fire Academy in
Freehold to show how fast tragedy can strike during the holidays.
Fire officials say
the demonstration also showed the importance of having a sprinkler system when
a fire erupts. They say a lot of the fires caused by Christmas trees and
holiday decorations are preventable.
Firefighters
respond to an average of 160 home fires each year that are reportedly caused by
Christmas trees. About 800 other holiday-related fires are from decorations.
