Firefighter Starts Christmas Tree Blaze

Occurred on February 8, 2025 / Fraser, Colorado, USA

Info from Licensor: "The Town of Fraser, CO has an event called Fire and Ice where they bring in all the dried up Christmas trees to burn in a massive bon fire. They also had ice sculptures, a hot air balloon, fire dancers, music, vendors etc. The big kick off of the party is to light the trees on fire which is done by the local fire department. They poured quite a few gallons of gas on it a few minutes before they lit it with flares and while the firefighter in front of me was waiting for the radio signal for them to all throw the flares on the pile, the fumes from the gas ignited around him. He seemed to be fine and all the surrounding spectators also seemed to be unharmed."
