VIEW TUBE: Fire department demonstrates the dangers of dry Christmas trees

The Clark County Fire Department demonstrated the dangers of dry Christmas trees on Dec. 16. A tree that had been insufficiently watered was placed between two fresher trees, and a flare was applied to them. The dry tree caught fire and was completely consumed in less than a minute. Despite the inferno raging between them, the properly watered trees did not catch fire.
