Swake, the increased danger isn't in the likely hood of the tree catching fire, but what happens on the chance that it does.  Lighting strikes are even rarer, but I don't see you going outside holding a metal rod up during lightning storms.

Once in a while there are golfers out in a T-storm.

And there is a reason why golfers are the ones that are struck the most by lighting.

Let me guess.....they hold lightning rods.  Do golf shoes have metal cleats?  I don't know, I'm not a golfer.

Yeah, they do, or at least some do.

OK.  Lightning rod in the air.  Good connection to the ground.  Maybe they can save a tree.   :D
