A Maury County woman says her Christmas lights display are to blame for her home catching fire in the middle of the night, according to a media source.

Mary Morrison and her family were asleep when it happened and said their smoke alarm woke them up.

She believes the lights were sparking for about an hour before the fire ignited.

Morrison bought the lights last year and thinks the issue began since she left them on all night.

Firefighters told Morrison had they woken up later, smoke would have filled the entire home.

Morrison has shared the video online as a warning for others during the holiday season.

In the video captured by a security camera, the fire sparks, catches a bush on fire and quickly spreads to her home.
