I believe that might be time-lapsed. But interesting non-the-less!

Nope, they really do go up that fast...

Nope! Dry Christmas trees go up so fast and put off so much heat, in a room that size, it takes no time at all to get fully involved and produced whats called a flashover.

In high school we would collect Christmas trees to burn every year. It's unbelievable how fast they burn up. Old couches burn really fast too.

This is why I own a fake fiber optic tree, got it 40 bucks new 6 years back, i add lights and all even though it has built in lights, it looks real feels fairly real, easy to install and saved us a ton of money and hassle and no watering needed.

I really thought I'd miss real trees but I don't plus my fake insta tree as I call it looks great saves me money and saves cutting down trees for no reason at all.

Cool vid, thats a scary thought though.

Haven't had a real tree forever... My dad's allergic to the pine smell

 

[GuNDeZZZ]

Yeah... We had two fake trees this year...


Both were totally destroyed by our three kittens like a week before Christmas... lol

Ayup. I've had formal training in this. You'd be amazed how quickly a room can flashover.

Spoken like a fireman. I had my brother watch both the videos posted in this thread. He said, and I quote- "Yup, it's nothing to fuck around with. It gets serious REALLY fast!"

He's the Chief of the local fire department. He's been in countless structure fires. Even responded to numerous out of district fires and saved houses. They're a good bunch of guys for sure. Glad my house is only a mile from the fire dept.

When I was in the academy we got to go inside a flashover simulator. Basically a dumpster with a platform in it that they would light the fire on and the the flashover would occur above us instead of around us. Basically this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ei1KkGl7FA&feature=related

Jesus.

I was always heard of x-mas tree fires being bad, but now I really won't ever get a real tree for x-mas.

Fuck that, I like my small fake tree just fine.
