Remember what happened to Dave. She plugged in the lights. Saw the spark. Whole house was engulfed in something over 5 minutes. They lost all pets. They were lucky to get out alive.
A device called an AGFI or arc fault circuit breaker will detect and quash such sparks. This device is now required on all electrical circuits that server bedrooms (as of 2002). Installing one for the circuit that lights a Christmas tree is also a good idea. Live Christmas trees are that dangerous.
