Its simple reallywe do it all the time and Id encourage you to try this at homeit drives home the message quite effectively when it is demonstrated!! Paper doesnt burn that easily But that doesnt mean it wont Car upholstery was another matter altogether Each of these burns took less than 7 seconds! Contributing factors Angle of sunlight Shape and clarity of bottle Bottle full of water Readily inflammable material What can you do? Dont leave bottles in vehicles (or near windows in buildings) cover them up if you have to. Better stilluse purpose-built water bottles which are not made of clear glass or plastic Share this within the business Share it with your family and friends PS you now know another way to start a fire in a survival situation!
