I have attached the press release and two videos of the Christmas tree burn that we did on 12-4-12. The initial burning of the tree takes place in the video labeled “Christmas tree FD1-2” , which is 59 seconds long. The second video labeled “Christmas tree FD1” is 38 seconds long and was shot from a different angle. The burn took place in our burn tower located at our training academy.
The purpose of the videos are to show the danger of what can happen if a Christmas tree is not properly cared for. We would like to thank Bruce Miller of Miller Farms for donating the Christmas trees. If you have any questions please feel free to call or email me.
Sincerely,
Chad A. Duffaut
