Christmas Tree Demo [12-3-15]

On the morning of Thursday, December 3rd, 2015 the Nassau County Fire Service Academy held a demonstration displaying Christmas tree safety. In front of various media outlets Chiefs from the academy went over a few holiday season tips such as how long to keep the tree indoors and how to tell if it fresh. The Chiefs also reiterated the importance of having working smoke detectors and the life or death difference of having them versus not having them. Once they went over these pointers they simulated a dried up Christmas tree catching fire and were able to show just how quickly the fire would spread.
