BROWARD COUNTY, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2024) — The Broward Sheriff’s Office Department of Fire Rescue is teaming up with Coral Springs/Parkland Fire Rescue on Thursday 12th December 2024 to present their Christmas Tree Fire Safety Demonstration.

The event will involve a practical fire experiment showcasing the burning characteristics (size and rate of growth in intensity ) of a traditional Christmas tree fire using a real tree as an example.

This study aims to show how the level of moisture affects ignition and the speed of fire growth well as the peak burning behavior – highlighting the importance of keeping trees well watered.
