I've never had a Christmas tree myself but in the 40+ years I can remember my parents/father having one I can't remember any fires and I doubt it's the kind of thing one would forget. I can see that a dead tree is likely to be flammable, but unless you're daft enough to hang real candles from the tree, what's the ignition source going to be?
20+ years of real christmas trees in our house and we've only ever used a screw in stand with no water and we've never had a tree fire.
