In this video a NIST test room is set up to simulate a dry Christmas tree fire and how a such fire would behave and spread to the rest of the home.
For everyone who has a real Christmas tree this year it’s the new year, get that old tree out of the house. Most people have no idea how fast a fire can travel in the right conditions. Can you be out of the house in 1:32? .
Don’t let this happen to you, water properly, remove combustible material. For more information on the science of burning Christmas trees go to BFRL:Fire on the Web. Also Cal Fire and Cal Fire Slo.
