Flaming tree apocalypse
So Pasadena Fire intended to stage a good safety-scare this morning by showing how easily a christmas tree can go up in roiling flames -- but the thing wouldn't burn.
They even attached flares -- photographer Walt Mancini says -- which failed to ignite the tree.

Throw cups of gasoline on it!
