They are supposed to have a flame retardant on them but it can wear off in time. Anything can burn, check the lights make sure the wires arent exposed, the tree isnt too close to a heat source etc. Have a safe and Happy Holiday.

Of course it can, theres lots of ways to get a fake christmas tree on fire. But you can prevent this from happening with not much effort.
- Make sure you dont have any candles around the tree.
- Make sure that you don't have water near the electricity when the tree is plugged inn.
- Make sure that nobody plays with a lighter around the tree.
Even if this does happend it will take a bit of time to catch fire so you shall be able to put it out in time. No worries this doesn't happen very often anyways xD
