That couch was such a trooper! Makes me want to get only couches from natural materials from now on!

[@thrasher1889]

The speed that Christmas Tree went up and the whole room was on fire in just 47 seconds was really scary, so so fast !!

[@titanicclash]

As the timer got closer and closer to the end, I kept expecting the office cubicle to light ablaze in something like 5 seconds

[@PrivateNorwal]

you have a great channel showing people how fast a fire can happen.

[@SLBPhantom]

Sheldon Cooper was right, Christmas trees are a fire hazard

[@HobbyOrganist]

I was in a work place fire in mid June, the fire started in a dust collector and the flame was just about where the video shows the 4 second mark on screen when I started a fire extinguisher on it, it was unbelievably HOT! I was 10 feet away and at some point got 2nd degree burns on my arms and scalp from the radiant heat and had to get skin graphs, people have no idea how HOT a wall of fire like this is from watching a video- there's no way a person can put this out with a fire extinguisher- one can see how the fire grew massively in 5 seconds, even with a smoker alarm you'd never be able to get out of bed, grab a fire extinguisher and put this out- the radiant heat wont let you even get close enough!

[@jukodebu]

thats why people jump from 90 floors up

[@cagnazzo82]

The gist of this video is that couches are safer than christmas trees. Who'd have thunk!

[@kendrat199]

Well, this scares the hell out of me.

[@kmccor2008]

That's it, I'm decorating my couch this year

[@charliemckinney1237]

kmccor2008 me too

[@reidgloden]

I am glad I have an artificial Christmas tree. Real Christmas trees are major fire hazard.

[@Chewyone007]

Infinite more respect for firemen - fucking hell.

[@oicwatudidthare]

There's no office cubicle demonstration in this video, though I can imagine how it would go.

[@jdowl21]

these videos scare the shit out of me. im going to live in an open space with no belongings for the rest of my life

[@djheckler92]

Every time I see a damn Christmas tree I want to burn it! But maybe I should do it outside...

[@MrZeps]

definitely going to throw out christmas tree right after christmas

[@archaictext]

Description is wrong, this only shows two scenarios. Dry Christmas trees are stupid. And what was feeding that couch fire? I know couches are made of different materials, but have you ever tried to lite a couch on fire? It's not very easy without some kind of accelerant beside the oxygen in the air.

[@Sharm1118]

what is a dry christmas tree

[@vaanankou]

1:20 I hate it when my couch catches on fire

[@FoxPopvli]

when you fart after eating ghost pepper chili

[@HeathHunnicutt]

How tall is the ceiling in that room? Six feet or so?

[@titanicclash]

And thus, the solution to all house fires was in front of us all along: leave them alone

[@EyeBenchTreeFiddy]

You can extinguish the sofa fire with a fire extinguisher given your fire alarms work properly and you don't sleep with earplugs but your house and possibly your life is pretty much fucked for celebrating Christmas.

[@monkheroidoe]

This is probably what Hell looks like

[@OTWarrior02]

That's only 2 situations, where is the third?

[@sarahlyndseybburn]

THOSE WERE TWO NOT THREE

[@charliemckinney1237]

That's It I'm Decorating The Cat Stand

[@need4speedtommy]

Well fuck Christmas trees

[@minckaful]

LIGHTNING BOLT

[@suckername]

I love fire (: I usually burn papers, boxes, or anything that I can burn (I mean, anyone will miss it), in my background. It is always so nice to watch. Fire is a nice thing. Fire breathes, lives, dances, burns. :)

[@steveomcmano2189]

so what the definition of a living thing. First it must reproduce, it needs fuel to live, it makes more of itself as it goes.
