Christmas Tree Fire Turns Devastating and Deadly Within Seconds
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- 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.
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 🙄

@@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!!!!
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

"Oh, Christmas tree. Oh, Christmas tree. I think I'll set mine on fire."
That is our New Years tradition - outside
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, ua-cam.com/video/RNjO3wZDVlA/v-deo.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.
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!
Usually flashover takes about 2-4 minutes. If a Christmas tree is on fire, the room will flash over in about 45 seconds.
I was a victim of one......I hope everyone out there is careful and stays safe....

That fire looked like hec on earth
That one dyslexic kid who misspelled santa into satan:
I can’t believe something so jolly can cause so much devastation
-5 seconds: Everything is normal
0 seconds: Ignition
6 seconds: Fire breaks the edge of the tree
15 seconds: The whole top of the tree is alight
35 seconds: The whole tree has burnt down
45 seconds: Fire extinguished
this is really satisfying.
You do keep things interesting Harald 👍
It really brightens the room!
Time: *Its Januray*

Please keep them coming! Loving every video. Thank you for these teachings!

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 never knew Christmas tree fires go that fast
Celestia is having an amazing christmas.
🧍🏻♀️🔥🚒
NOT CELESTIA LMAO
YOU WRONG FOR THAT 😭
Fromm tiktok but damn that fire was nasty 🔥
Just remember that pine resin burns similarly to gasoline. It's even been used as an incendiary weapon. Don't die this Christmas guys.
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.

Santa: so he has been a bad boy? Ok I will just light the tree on fire.
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
I will say ........ Christmas was set on *FIRE*
This is what happens when your ceiling is also made of dried pine needles.....
🤜🤛 good one😊
Fire looks so gorgeous...
30 seconds in and it looks like the space shuttle has blasted its boosters in the room!
As a person who absolutley despises christmas
This is truly a beautiful sight
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

But it’s dying of how mad it is

I strangely understand how forest fires spread so quickly
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.
Now kids, this is what you call a forest fire.
The tree on my pfp: oh um…. *sees the wrappings* BROTHER?!
“Louis, my tree”
“What’s a matter with you?”
“Look what you’ve done to my tree!”
“Louis!”

“It was an ugly tree anyway.”
Not gonna lie, those were some cool looking flames
Am I the only one that noticed that the pillow on the chair started melting before the flames dropped on it?
MERRY CHRISTMAS&A HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎊🎉🎄🎁🎅
the joy a burning christmas tree gives me
I can feel the heat through my phone

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.

AAAAAAHHH YES WHAT A WAY TO START THE DAY ❤💖💖
*Me chilling of having a fake Christmas tree so it can’t caught fire*
woah, thats so scary.... the room was full of fire in seconds...
If a tree burns, it turns into a twig!
No poop Sherlock 😊
This happed us when i was around 7 years old. Fire fighters/ city probably have this documented somewhere ..
The Christmas tree gave its life for our amusement
That wreath! That chair!
Wow, that tree went up quick! This shows how quick things can go wrong if your not being safe. Definitely, scary to think about.
ABSOLUTELY, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR WHEN FAMILY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
*So this people, is why plastic christmas trees are actually kind of positive*
No merry Christmas there, it looked like old grandpa had used gasoline instead of water for Christmas.
This is why, every year, I preform the service of removing these fire hazards from people's front lawns after Christmas...and then later burning them whole in a safe controlled environment...
Bravo bravo, 🏅 medal of . . .
Applause 🤜🤛🙌🙌🙌
* fire force opening starts playing *
Now that's a lot of damage
I don’t know why I always laugh at the “eeeeeee” it gives off when it gets really bad....

That tree went up quicker than a children's Halloween Costume!!! LOL 😂😅
Mom: Did you water the tree today?
Me: Yea mom I did
1 hour later:
I guess you can say...............THEY ARE LIT
All the years we had a real tree, we couldn't keep it from drying out even with watering it. I'm guessing our forced air heat does a lot of the drying out of the tree, not just a lack of water in the stand?
“And when I’m back from the store, you better not let the Christmas tree catch on fire in under a minute!”
Me:
Alternative title: When the christmas tree says Have a fiery christmas
(no offence).
how did that tree just ignite like that , I have never heard of a Xmas tree catching on fire , the tree lights don't get hot , hec, or even warm for that matter ,what was this all about . ?
It’s all a big lie. This only happens when people Avery careless. I mean there is a hot lamp right next to it. Who does that??? Very careless people that’s who.
When your kids don't do their homeworks.
I remember back in communist Eastern Europe, we would actually place a dozen of small wax candles on the tree using small clips, and light them up at Christmas. Also, there was no stand holding water available, only normal stands. Everyone was doing the same in the block apartment. Fires were rare, but I guess when it happened it was ugly. In the video, you can be sure that by 0:20, anyone in the room would have been toasted from extreme radiant heat, even if lying on the floor. This fire is merciless, the second it starts, RUN, it's already too late to do anything. It's actually the radiant heat that ignites instantly the furniture.
My sister lost 4 children in a house fire. A tree was the cause. Her husband tried to save them but it was too late.
im so sorry to hear that
That fire looked pretty rad ngl

@lil Human edgy.
Christmas was lit 🔥
lit. Literally. Til it was afire 😊
It's bc if you don't water it it will be dry and burn down the house,but if you water it it won't burn down the house
