Every year, cities across Texas inform citizens on how to dispose of their Christmas trees. For those who decorate real trees, cities do not want you dumping trees in fields or on the side of the road. Instead, many Texas cities have drop-off locations for trees to make everything easy for everyone.
Apparently, one household in McKinney, Texas did not get the memo about where they could stick their tree.
According to the McKinney Fire Department, the fire department responded to a call of a structural fire on Saturday. The residents of the home were apparently attempting to dispose of their Christmas tree by burning it. Not by lighting it on fire in the backyard, which is also a bad idea, but by attempting to stick the Christmas tree into the fireplace of their home.
