00:02Basta un minuto per trasformare il Natale in un inferno, è quanto ha dimostrato un gruppo
00:07di ingegneri dell'UniversitĂ del Massachusetts, appiccando il fuoco ad un albero di Natale
00:11vero e senza acqua da tre settimane, in un set allestito come un tipico salotto.
00:16L'intera stanza è bruciata nel tempo record di 63 secondi.
00:3020 secondi since we started the fire, and you can see that most of the tree has already
00:34been consumed.
00:35We're having a lot of fire that's rolling out above the ceiling, so if this were home imagine
00:39those flames are now moving to other parts of the house.
00:44We can see that we have smoke rising from both the carpet and the chair, and this is important
00:50because they're not in direct flame contact with the tree, but they are starting to burn.
01:00So in your home, that would be your entire living room on fire in just over one minute.
01:13According to the National Fire Protection Association, on average there are approximately 210 home
01:19fires that are started by Christmas trees that results in about seven deaths per
01:24year.
01:25Multiple injuries and seventeen and a half million dollars in property loss.
01:29and that's flash over
01:31ok
