There’s nothing like the fresh smell of a real tree, but real trees can also pose a serious fire hazard if the tree accidentally dries out. Steve Spangler shares a “television-only” science demonstration with firefighters in a controlled situation that illustrates how dry trees are susceptible to catching fire and ways to avoid this potential fire risk. The demonstration that Steve shared with television viewers can only be presented under strict safety conditions and is not designed to be replicated by viewers or science enthusiasts.
