Christmas Tree Fire Turns Devastating and Deadly Within Seconds
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 дек 2015
- A live Christmas tree burn shows just how quickly a dried-out Christmas tree burns, with flashover occurring in less than one minute, as compared to a well-watered tree, which burns at a much slower rate. Take care to water your tree, so that it doesn’t become a fire hazard.
This live burn was conducted by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

Thats dangerous
Did not now that cool
Christmas lights can be just as much of a risk, especially with dead/dry trees.
I'm going to water my plastic tree every day.
Better safe than sorry (ironically)
imma water my house everyday just in case
😂😂😂
Imma watering my garden in Day of hours
This was actually pretty cool tho, the ceiling looked like an upside down water fall of fire.
Looked like Mary winchester was lit up
Gabby Rae it’s does doeee
@Gabby Rae
I dunno, I'd sorta imagine that an organisation called the "National Fire Protection Association" knows how to protect themselves from fire and has things prepared to either protect themselves or escape from it, should the worst happen, but I guess that's just ludicrous to imagine, huh?
My mate (a fire fighter) and his colleagues sit in an old shipping container with a branch ready and primed, and watch as the flames go above their heads, apparently it's mesmerising to see. It's part of their training, they do a lot of drills to keep them refreshed on different scenarios, that still is one of his favourites to do, as well as smoke room training.
@Gabby Rae this was not a real house and was a video to show the public how fast a dried out Christmas tree can catch on fire within seconds and destroy everything... so nobody was in danger here
... just read the description and you would of known that 🙄

*WEEB!!!!!*
@@Mr_ice51 stfu so?
LMAOOO
I know these are just stage sets, but it's still sad to see this happen regardless.
True.
Idk why I thought they were real
Wow, that is genuinely terrifying... less than 50 seconds and it's completely out of control. I'd say just 10 seconds that it was out of control. Back when we used real Christmas trees, we always used this basin contraption. Four screws on each side of the entrance, and a reservoir for water. I don't think we watered it daily, but I don't recall the reservoir ever being empty when it came time to take the tree out. I think we shut off the lights on the tree every night as well, as an added safety precaution. Also grew up in a house primarily heated by firewood, so when we were done with the tree, it'd have the branches cut/broken off outside, then cut into junks with a chainsaw. I think we had one electric heater though, and for some reason, it was in my room, but we never really used it.
Old man would get up every morning and get the fireplace going, it'd stay burning all day, and of course at night would burn itself out, so the mornings were pretty damn frigged until the fire got going. I must say though, the warmth from a wood stove feels SO much better than artificial electric warmth, as weird (and possibly hipster) as that sounds. Somehow it just feels different; more cozy, more comfortable, and more relaxing. Got a wood stove in the shed, haven't used it in over a year, probably won't use it over the Winter, but the natural warmth of a real fire is just so nice... provided it's contained in a safe fireplace and not raging wildly in the livingroom... that would put a bit of a damper on the cozy and relaxing feeling of being warmed by a fire...

Why wld people say this is fake ffs. Infuriating that some people cld be so dim.
LED lights are also a good call.
it is out of control after 15 seconds
Geez, I cannot get over how fast and how much that fire grew! It makes me thankful that I happened to see this after Christmas, after we had already taken down our tree!
If there’s an electrical short, do you think a watered tree will stop a flame? Forests have tons of wet trees, but they still turn into infernos quite easily
.
I have experienced a house fire myself and these kinds of videos are extremely scary for me. Stay safe! and always have a fire extinguisher in your house!!!!
"Oh, Christmas tree. Oh, Christmas tree. I think I'll set mine on fire."
That is our New Years tradition - outside
The difference between a dry and watered tree in terms of flammability, is quite significant. Lol my 97 yr old grandfather was born on the family farm in a then rual area in 1924, recalls his parents placing real candles on the tree, as i began to laugh at him as a young boy that knew the dangers, he recalls the family would choose and cut the tree the day before xmax eve, and they removed the tree from the house the day after Christmas, ensuring it never had a chance to dry out, and they only lit the candles long enough for the children to open gifts, even then his father had a large tub of water at hand. As they did not have electricity till the late 1930s or early 1940s when he was in high school. Grandfather would never advise anyone use candles on a tree today, but despite the dangers the family never had a Christmas tree fire

And he used to wear an onion on his belt. Which was the style at the time...
Why would you not show the full 40 second burn on the watered tree?
+jay90374 we actually didn't have that footage. Unfortunately all we had was the video you saw of the watered tree. We do have a comparison video that is a little older, ruclips.net/video/RNjO3wZDVlA/видео.html
That's to bad, my wife and I both said the same thing after watching, thanks for the reply
National Fire Protection Association you're dumb
jay90374 I
Lol I don't think they need to show the full 40 secs. You can clearly tell after 5 seconds that not a lot is happening....which is the point. No need to call people unwarranted names.
Please keep them coming! Loving every video. Thank you for these teachings!
I was a victim of one......I hope everyone out there is careful and stays safe....
Usually flashover takes about 2-4 minutes. If a Christmas tree is on fire, the room will flash over in about 45 seconds.
plastic ftw
lasts for many, many christmas and leaves the real trees where they should be
Yea I think the plastic ones don’t spread that fast

@@attractivepotato5796 thank god.
Real trees are better for the environment than plastic ones that will still be in landfills hundreds of years from now.
Plastic releases bad gases when burned!
I can’t believe something so jolly can cause so much devastation
You do keep things interesting Harald 👍
“At least it’s out of its misery.”
It really brightens the room!
I never knew Christmas tree fires go that fast
I think I shouldn't have gave my mixtape as a gift.
you need to be given a grammar education as a gift

Merry Christmas NFPA :-) Thank you for the video :-) FIRE SPRINKLERS SAVE LIVES!!!!!!! ROCK ON!!!!!!!
Fire looks so gorgeous...
if You Are On Naughty List, This is That Santa Gives You For Christmas This Morning.
It's like God is telling us to water his trees or the devil will torture Christmas.
thus says the Lord: do not learn the ways of the nations [...] for the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman. they adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter. like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak.
@@criztu that verse isn’t about Christmas trees lol
@@abrahamrodriguez3197 the Christmas tree is about that verse
@@criztu the verses are about wooden idols made out of trees not Christmas trees
@@abrahamrodriguez3197 at whom do you snarl and stick out the tongue, you children of transgression, you offspring of deceit. you worship idols under the green tree - Isaiah 57:5
Fromm tiktok but damn that fire was nasty 🔥
this is really satisfying.
MERRY CHRISTMAS&A HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊🎉🎄🎁🎅
Dad: you've been a bad boy this year Billy.
Billy: BUT DAD I WANT PRESENTS!
Dad: nope not this year.
*3 hours later at **2:08**am*
Santa: so he has been a bad boy? Ok I will just light the tree on fire.
beautiful
Just remember that pine resin burns similarly to gasoline. It's even been used as an incendiary weapon. Don't die this Christmas guys.
*Me chilling of having a fake Christmas tree so it can’t caught fire*
I can feel the heat through my phone
This is what happens when your ceiling is also made of dried pine needles.....
🤜🤛 good one😊
Wow, that tree went up quick! This shows how quick things can go wrong if your not being safe. Definitely, scary to think about.
This is amazing to watch
the joy a burning christmas tree gives me
The tree on my pfp: oh um…. *sees the wrappings* BROTHER?!
Now kids, this is what you call a forest fire.
No merry Christmas there, it looked like old grandpa had used gasoline instead of water for Christmas.
This is “Lil tree” after he gets roasted
30 seconds in and it looks like the space shuttle has blasted its boosters in the room!
Merry christmas
I'm so lucky that I have a fake Christmas tree.
I strangely understand how forest fires spread so quickly
That tree went up quicker than a children's Halloween Costume!!! LOL 😂😅
Not gonna lie, those were some cool looking flames
Merry Christmas everyone +
When your kids don't do their homeworks.
WOW that is one big fire tree, very interesting.
This is why LED lights can be beneficial too since they also don’t get as hot as traditional ones but watering constantly is the most important and having working smoke detectors in every room is important.
i want a fake tree now
Allison Brinkley yep
me to
My family still gets a real tree, I just water it each day and my brother turns it's lights off at night, and that's how I prevent Christmas Tree fires.
ram5 ramen5 not nearly as much. Like not even close
We're using the same fake tree since 2014 and it's like new
This is what I've always wanted to see
@lil Human edgy.
If I own a christmas tree at my house, I will water the christmas tree every day. but I will need to learn how to water the chrstmas tree at school first
Now that's real Christmas 🎄
AAAAAAHHH YES WHAT A WAY TO START THE DAY ❤💖💖
Good effect
That fire looked pretty rad ngl
I don’t know why I always laugh at the “eeeeeee” it gives off when it gets really bad....
How the Grinch Stole Christmas with a lighter
* fire force opening starts playing *
That wreath! That chair!
“And when I’m back from the store, you better not let the Christmas tree catch on fire in under a minute!”
Me:
If a tree burns, it turns into a twig!
No poop Sherlock 😊
Am I the only one that noticed that the pillow on the chair started melting before the flames dropped on it?
Is it bad that watching Christmas trees make me happy?
Anddddd this is how the tree ruined the house instead of the grinch stole Christmas
Now that's a lot of damage
Merry christmars
I will say ........ Christmas was set on *FIRE*
0:24 that tree angry it’s head light on fire
But it’s dying of how mad it is
@@godzillakaijuproductions7692TRUE
This is why fake Christmas trees are better
I remember the story of a school in Oklahoma (cant remember the name of the school) and it was during a school play and during the time when you put candles on your tree. One of the candles fell over amd lit the tree on fire and no one got out because the doors opened inward instead of out. It was pretty bad and those that were fond could only ve identified by a button or piece of fabric.

(no offence).
woah, thats so scary.... the room was full of fire in seconds...
The Christmas tree gave its life for our amusement
Just one word ..... WOW
Boy: oh Boy its time to see my gifts
The demon: I D I D I T
This is how you could simulate the Cocoanut Grove Fire.
Which is why kids, you need to add more gasoline into fires.
👏🏻👏🏻
Mom: Did you water the tree today?
Me: Yea mom I did

This happed us when i was around 7 years old. Fire fighters/ city probably have this documented somewhere ..

I'll take my plastic tree for $500 please, Alex.
Nice
*So this people, is why plastic christmas trees are actually kind of positive*
Christmas was lit 🔥
lit. Literally. Til it was afire 😊
great zoom backgrouind material here
Wow. They should bring back the TV adverts telling you to plan an escape route from house fires at this time of year. Don't overload your sockets & unplug at night folks.
