Nejtková, Miroslava Christmas tree ignition by sparklers / Miroslava Nejtková, Martin Podjukl. -- Obr., tab. -- Lit. - The paper deals with the potential of sparklers to ignite a Christmas tree. The conclusions from the experimental measurements when four fir trees decorated with Christmas ornaments were tested and burning sparklers were used for the ignition of a Christmas tree are presented in the paper. The measured temperatures were recorded by means of thermal imagers throughout the measurement process. The maximum temperatures during combustion are presented. Based on the measurements, it can be stated that sparklers are a possible source of ignition. There was always a flare through an easily ignitable Christmas decoration, not from the contact of the sparkler with a needle or branch itself. During the experiment, there was a total ignition of a decorated tree in only two cases.
